Hyde Review Results ..................... 4.5 out of 5

---

I am deeply grateful for the foundation that Hyde has provided me!   The values & principles I learned at Hyde have continue to guide me in adulthood. Since graduating from Hyde, I have been on an exciting journey and professional growth. After earning a BA degree from GWU in 2022, I decided to pursue a masters degree. In just one year from graduating, I now work at BlackRock Financial Management. Now as an enthusiastic Hyde alumnus, I’d love to recommend one of friends!

When I went to the Hyde campus for the first time in August 2022 to drop my daughter off to start her Junior Academic Year, I noticed that 5 values were written on the Stone next to the School's mascot, they are: Courage: Hyde always encouraged my daughter to perform on the Perform Art, Swimming, Lacrosse, Soccer and Tennis.
Integrity: Maintaining respect for teachers, staff, peers and family was a value that Hyde always demonstrated during my interaction with the Community.

Hyde was exactly what I needed and I really benefitted from it. I was a kid who was not held accountable by my parents or my school.  I felt depressed, hopeless, and didn't believe in myself. Hyde raised the bar for me. They expected more from me. I rose to the occasion at Hyde, and graduated with a different opinion of myself, with a higher set of standards. I've held on to these core beliefs since then, and I believe that Hyde was a real game changer. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is my sons 2nd year he will be a Junior.Was very hesitant on sending my child to ANY school let alone a boarding school. But so far I have no complaints!

The best part of my daughter's time at Hyde is the community support and personal growth. Being in Hyde has helped her to be able to make her own decisions.
We must highlight other important experiences for our daughter: dealing with teachers, education, respect and solidarity among classmates. From our point of view there is little to improve, the truth is very little. Our experience in Hyde is incredible.

Hyde school is GREAT in the HUMAN approach for students; educational & emotional. All staff is ready to help. The sports program is also well manage with different sports & activities during all year.

We love Hyde School for all the support and guidance our family received there. Hyde provides a perfect blend of discipline and freedom to the students, helps teenagers to figure out priorities and to take responsibility for their choices. Hyde is a place that offers families tons of educational, psychological, emotional and physical support on a very personal level, paying attention to specific needs and challenges of a student. We were amazed  at this vibrant community.

I transferred to Hyde my junior year, coming from a rough experience at my old school, and I absolutely loved it. Patient teachers and understanding staff were the exact things that a difficult kid like myself needed.  My experience at Hyde was nothing but amazing and I can't recommend the school enough.

Hyde school is a game changer in the world of education.  Hyde will help you strengthen  your challenges and enhance your strengths.  I highly recommend Hyde to any family willing to grow and change.

My son met Hyde in 11th grade. This year, he will continue to university by studying the 12th grade in the new academic year. During the 1-year period he spent in Hyde, he experienced many positive changes in terms of character and personality. His self-confidence, decision-making and leadership skills have greatly increased. Hyde teachers are very good at treating students and support students and support their development in an encouraging way. We are so happy we chose Hyde & highly recommend.

Hyde will help change your life, if you’re willing and open to take a deep look at yourself and your family. My personal experience was life changing and I will be forever grateful for Hyde!

Our son graduated Hyde this year starting as sophomore and finishing as a senior. It would be impossible to articulate all the wonderful things we are taking away from our experience, but ultimately we are a happier and healthier family because of it.
He graduated with a strong sense of who he is. I have and will continue to recommend Hyde to other parents looking for an opportunity to grow; not just for their child, but for themselves.

My son benefits from the role models and close community of staff and students. His view of himself has greatly improved in the last two years. His grades are back on track and he has opportunities to try new things he wouldn't have otherwise which has helped him to experience himself in new ways. Personally, as a parent I find the community hugely beneficial. The weekend seminars help my son and I to know each other in a very productive way. I am grateful for Hyde.

Excellent school, definitely had a positive influence on my life. It does have a challenging program,   It's curriculum will challenge any student regardless of their previous academic experience. It had a profound and lasting positive effect on both my family and I (a reason why I think so many alumni willingly give to support their program). I'm very grateful to Hyde for being a big part of who I am today.

Graduated in 2019. Great campus and good people. Hyde changed my life for the better, as I learned a lot about myself. Especially from the faculty who helped me along the way when I needed them.

Hyde was an experience that I'll never forget. I was involved and challenged in many different areas; faculty and staff helped me figure out what I wanted to do and where I could go to thrive. Unfortunately, Hyde is not an academics-first school. The character/family program and athletics are clearly prioritized in many situations, & my teachers struggled to make the time they had meaningful. Hyde is a transformative place for many, and a beautiful campus, but it is not without its shortcomings.

Our son attended Hyde school and I can truly say it was a transforming experience for him. He entered a somewhat reticent, shy, tentative boy without much confidence. At Hyde he became an outstanding student, excellent runner and most importantly, a leader to other students. His behavior and adherence to the core values of Hyde served to inspire others....he even inspired us. I would recommend Hyde to any parent.

I credit Hyde school as being a truly transformational experience for me and my family. I sent both of my sons there for their final years of high school. I'm guessing that folks who don't like Hyde or think it is a "cult" were probably not prepared to deal with the level of honesty and truth required to be successful there. It's not easy at all, and every family will be challenged in the Hyde environment. But the rewards of meeting these challenges are very great.

Changed my understanding of what school could be. An unmatched commitment to students.

I have been associated with Hyde over the last 10 years and have grown to admire the schools values and commitment to their students.  Some of my dearest friends are alum.  The principles, love for community and the schools foundation has influenced my own parenting.

When it comes to Hyde, there are only two types of people: those who are ready to accept and do the work that Hyde has to offer and those who aren't. I made the wrong choice early on and fortunately I've corrected my earlier blunder. Hyde is not perfect, no institution is, however the leadership is and has always had the courage to change what has not worked.
I am proud to be of Hyde.

Anyone who is a parent, plans to be a parent, or was once a child of a parent, should be aware of Hyde School.  The Hyde School approach has helped thousands of people reflect on their lives, fulfill their goals, and become more effective parents. My children attended Hyde and my husband and I have volunteered as alumni parents. If you have a chance, explore the possibility for you and your family to attend Hyde.  Even the interview can be a thought provoking and beneficial experience.

Hyde School changed my life. Like most teenagers, I was lost, uninspired, and had little belief in myself. My experiences at Hyde led me to understand my potential - what I never got at any previous school. And the way Hyde did that was by challenging me to try things I wouldn't have had the courage to try, delve into my fears and hopes, and have the humility to learn from others. I developed life-long friendships at Hyde.

My daughter was not living up to her potential and couldn't seem to get on track. A friend of mine recommended Hyde and we enrolled my daughter in 2016. Hyde, in the most loving and nurturing way, was able to motivate and inspire my daughter to think big and succeed.
