The Upper School Summer School program provides a balanced array of academic and enrichment courses for students who will enter grades 7 through 12 in the fall. Six weeks in length, the summer session runs from late June until the beginning of August and is held on the Hopkins School campus. Three types of courses are offered in the Upper School: academic credit courses, which provide 90+ hours of teaching in a given subject area and require an equivalent amount of out-of-class study time; non-credit academic review courses which provide between 30 and 60 hours of class-based learning; and enrichment courses for students seeking to expand their horizons or strengthen core learning skills. Classes are small, typically averaging between 10 and 14 students.

The Lower School Program is an age-appropriate, six-week learning and enrichment program for elementary school students who will be entering grades 3 through 6 in the fall. As in the Upper School, the summer session runs from late June to early August. Our teachers are selected for their command of core educational disciplines at this level (reading, writing, mathematics, and science); their ability to work easily and effectively with younger students; and, perhaps most importantly, their desire to ensure that learning continues to be both stimulating and fun. Classes are typically 10 to 12 students on average.
