Is Hyde Right For You?
We believe that every student, every parent, and every teacher is meant to connect with a deep and special purpose in life. Character development is the key to unlocking that purpose.

The Hyde Promise
Hyde Schools help students learn, embrace, and adopt a character compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives. This compass has four points:

1. An explicit philosophy of character in the form of Five Words: Courage, Integrity, Leadership, Curiosity, and Concern;

2. The most dynamic student peer culture in American education;

3. A dedicated faculty that will go to the ends of the earth to help teenagers and families connect with their potentials;

4. The opportunity for parents, the primary teachers, and the entire family to participate and gain individual and collective strength.

Hyde Schools’ Offer To All Families

  • We strive to offer every student and family what we call a top five experience of a lifetime.

  • Those of us who work at Hyde Schools do so because we believe that the world would be a better place if everyone spent some time here. We will continually strive to ensure the legitimacy of this belief.

  • Hyde Schools provide one-of-a-kind experiences where entire families grow together.

  • Hyde Schools consistently place at least 96 percent of graduates in four-year colleges. From academic preparation to actual college admission counseling, each student receives extensive personal attention.
  
 

A different type of boarding school indeed…

We believe there are no other schools that offer the wide range of exceptional programming that Hyde does. Our programs offer valuable resources for families enrolled at Hyde as well as families nationwide.

Experiential sums up what Hyde’s Summer X is all about. Students may find themselves hammered by high-altitude wind and rain, rocked by the Atlantic Ocean’s waters, and balancing themselves on the peaks of some of New England’s highest mountains. Despite all of that, participants say it is by far one of the most exciting and exhilarating experiences of their lives. (For Current Hyde Students Only)
