Parents and Families
Summer at Hopkins offers high school and undergraduate students a host of opportunities to learn, grow, and excel academically.
Whether you’re considering enrolling your academically advanced high school child in a Pre-College Program or undergraduate course, or you have a young-adult family member hoping to enroll in Summer Term, we know you have high expectations. You’re no doubt looking for an experience that will expand their knowledge, broaden their horizons, and boost their confidence, while also ensuring their safety.
We get that. And we’ve got that.
Each summer, we welcome more than 1,000 students—online and in person—to participate in educational opportunities, with a commitment to providing an exceptional academic experience in a safe, inclusive setting.
Inclusion
At Johns Hopkins, we continue to be a school that is welcoming to those of all genders, national origins, ages, races, ethnicities, religions, disabilities, and sexual orientations. We value diversity, and we make every effort to provide a safe environment for all. Our University President Ronald Daniels stands committed to maintaining a welcoming environment for all.
Safety
JHU’s Office of Campus Safety and Security provides an array of services that support students’ well-being. A network of emergency telephones set up throughout the campus immediately connects any person in need to a security office dispatcher, 24 hours a day. Uniformed officers patrol the campus at all times.
Furthermore, these additional measures are in effect for pre-college students:
- Residential Counselors supervise all activities
- 24/7 professional student supervision, including residence-hall rounds, curfew enforcement, cleanliness checks
- 12-to-1 students/counselor ratio
- Daily sign-ins and room check-ins
- Attendance checks
- Weekly Resident Counselor group meetings
- Sign-in and sign-out procedures for leaving campus
- Residential staff help supervise off-campus field trips
- Pre-college students are assigned a designated “home area” where they are permitted to roam freely without supervision but are always encouraged to walk in pairs
Parent of a Pre-College Program student, Summer Move-in Day, 2023I’m excited for my son! Summer at Hopkins is an opportunity for him to look at some areas of study he may be interested in going to college for his career down the road. This Summer at Hopkins, I hope that my son will get broad exposure to his area of study and be able to make some new friends.
