Mission:
Since its founding in 1916, Foote has reflected its motto, which translates to: “Gladly will I learn and gladly teach.” We nurture a lifelong love of learning and teaching in our students and faculty.

Committed to excellence, teachers lead children to question, to discover connections, to think independently, and to learn by doing. Our community is inclusive; we value difference and challenge prejudice. We give our students the skills to explore the world’s complexity with joy and purpose and to respect themselves and each other.

Educational Philosophy:

Foote is a vibrant place where teachers strive to balance exuberance with reflection. Every effort is made to help children achieve their potential with limited class size, small group instruction, and attention to the individual in an encouraging atmosphere.

Teachers provide careful grounding in verbal and numerical skills while fostering creativity and self-confidence. These skills are integrated into a rich and imaginative curriculum of literature, history, mathematics, science, technology, writing, foreign languages, the arts and athletics.

Foote cultivates an atmosphere of mutual consideration and respect through close relationships among teachers, students, and parents. We emphasize the necessity for cooperative effort, accountability for one’s actions, the value of service to the school community and the world beyond, and the many satisfactions of kindness to others.

Hopkins School, New Haven

Courses / Programs

Hopkins School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school for grades 7-12 located in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut. We offer middle and high schools programs with a college prep SAT and ACT, advanced placement and honors courses. The curriculum promotes a strong foundation in the academic disciplines, a broad exposure to the liberal arts, and selective opportunities to pursue individual interests.

We challenge students to try on the perspectives and habits of mind that historians and writers, mathematicians and linguists, scientists and artists, and athletes and musicians bring to their disciplines.

Here students experience the ways that scholars from the various fields pose questions; then they pose questions of their own. They progress through increasingly empowering stages, from harvesting information to gaining knowledge, to reaching understanding and, finally, to forming convictions. Life at Hopkins is also strongly athletic, artistic, and social; it presumes a commonality of purpose and a focus on striving for excellence in everything we do. We are accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools.
