Hyde has pioneered Character Development, leading to life-changing outcomes for students and families.
Our emphasis is on helping students discover their strengths and grow as confident leaders prepared for the future.
We believe that for students to succeed - now and for the rest of their lives - they must develop the integrity, habits, and resilience that are the hallmarks of successful adults.
We are focused on the belief that character, attitude, and effort will lead to academic excellence, meaningful achievement, and personal fulfillment.
The Hyde difference is seen in the peer culture and parent involvement, which connects our students to a remarkable support system.
