Education School Overview

Though the main building of the Johns Hopkins School of Education is located on the school’s Homewood campus in Baltimore, graduate students can also take courses at the Columbia or Montgomery County campuses, both located between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. There are degree programs for prospective teachers, counselors, and administrators, as well as specialty programs in reading, technology, gifted education, and more. Doctorate degrees are offered in Special Education and Teacher Development and Leadership.

Students can develop specialties through the Urban Leadership Development Academy or the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) program. In addition, the School offers one-year teacher certification programs, which include an immersion experience in Maryland public schools.

Graduate students have a handful of campus organizations to check out, but cannot live on any of the campuses. The Johns Hopkins School of Education is renowned for its groundbreaking work, like the Best-Evidence Encyclopedia, a handbook of research and reviews of education practices. The school also runs the Center for Data-Driven Reform in Education, a federally funded program that aims to improve poverty-stricken school districts across the country.
