Why Choose The Spire School?


- Our Mission

Our mission is to empower students to achieve their academic goals, while supporting their growth into confident, resilient human beings who view and embrace life as a series of exciting challenges and possibilities. Our approach is rooted in the belief that intellectual passion and emotional and physical well-being are interrelated. Spire students are taught to identify and build upon their strengths in order to develop strong self-management and interpersonal skills.  To promote a healthy and secure sense of self, we emphasize exercise, sleep, and nutrition, thereby enhancing social-emotional wellness and academic success.

- Individualized Education Programs

Students play an active role in developing their customized curriculum and wellness plan to maximize intellectual engagement and motivation. Teachers, trainers, nutritionists, and life coaches work collectively as a community of allies to help Spire students develop the strategies and resilience needed to meet the demands of everyday life.

Spire teachers are subject area specialists, several of whom are trained in special education and have knowledge and experience working with students with mild-to-moderate learning differences. In addition to being dedicated to classroom instruction, our educators are committed to helping students come to know themselves as learners and individuals. To this end, every student’s program is designed to optimize health and wellness.

- Supplemental Services

In addition to our academic and health and wellness programs, Spire’s close connection with Greenwich Education Group enables us to provide many supplemental services to our students. These services include a variety of options that many Spire students and families have found helpful including after-school services, college counselling and educational consulting.

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.
