• Hyde School focuses on the development of
  individual character, beginning with the premise
  that everyone is gifted with a unique potential
  that defines individual destiny.

9

• Both Hyde boarding campuses consist of grades
  912 and enroll approximately 220 students. The
  curriculum is designed to intentionally challenge
  students to pursue their unique potential.

10

• With several areas of learning and program
  content that include varied academic instruction
  and skill and character development, the extended
  program not only provides students with a sound
  education, it also trains them to probe beyond
  the academic to a conscience level of thought.

11

• This deeper level of learning places them on a
  path where they can identify, examine, and
  oftentimes redefine their principles, interests,
  strengths, obstacles, ideals, and ultimately
  their unique potential, and use that knowledge to
  shape and enrich their lives.

12

• While each area of discipline offers its own
  unique and challenging content, the character
  development curriculum is a common thread woven
  into all curricula, offering students consistency
  and reinforcement in learning.

13

• Perhaps the best way to describe Hyde today, is
  by asking current students what Hyde is like for
  them.

14

• "The thing that impressed me the most when I
  came to Hyde was that people valued effort over
  achievement because I was always somebody that
  needed people to push me."
  Andrew Sylvester '03

15

• "Hyde gives me new ideas to try new things in
  my life. I was a pretty quiet person before. When
  I came here I was challenged to speak up in
  school meetings." Junior
  Bernal '04

16

• "Hyde gave me and my parents the opportunity
  to communicate in a more productive way."
  Lauren Sands '03
