You meet people who aren't all alike and you can be yourself. Each of the three divisions has its own academic schedule, athletic teams, activities program and lunch. Younger students have 30 to 40 minute academic periods, lunch, study halls, and extra help. Older students have longer academic periods for labs and elective courses, with athletics and activities scheduled at the end of the day. The Hopkins Summer School and Sports Camps are open to elementary and secondary school students, from both Hopkins and other schools, who wish to move more rapidly through course work, make up deficiencies, or build skills in a particular sport.
Expectations are high, the environment is relaxed, and each student receives personal attention.
