College & Career Readiness

Prepared for Whatever Tomorrow Brings

College and career planning is thoughtfully embedded into each student’s high school experience so all Hopkins students can develop the skills needed to attain their post-secondary dreams and goals. We cultivate well-rounded and critical thinkers who are ready for the future.

Removing Barriers to a Brilliant Future

While some schools offer postsecondary skill development only in a tutoring setting, all students have access in Hopkins. Students have access to:

• The Royals College and Career Center — a space where students design their futures and set a path for how they will get there.

• A Royals Prep course that combines life skills with the college application process to help students present their best selves to colleges, universities, and trade schools.

• Access to Minnesota’s Direct Admission program, which guarantees placement for Hopkins students who are on track to graduate in a wide range of Minnesota colleges and universities.

• The opportunity to participate in the ProPEL program, which matches students with internships relevant to their individual interests.
