The Hyde School
In 1966,Joseph W,Gauld founded the first Hyde School in Bath,Maine in
response to a system of education which hebelieved was failing its children
because of conflicting priorities,His search for a new approach in education
led to a program that valued attitude over aptitude,effort over ability,and
character over talent,This emphasis creates a learning environment where
students experience success with integrity,the kind of success that lasts a
lifetime,The school helps students answer three questions,1.Who am I?
2.Where am I going? 3.What do I need to do to get there?
Location of
Hyde school
?Hyde is the national leader in family-based character education,For more than
37 years,the Hyde Schools in Bath,Maine,and Woodstock,Connecticut,have
been helping students and families realize their potential,
?In recent years,there has been a heightened awareness of the importance of
character development,Today,many parents,teachers,and leaders profess
that character development is important,that qualities like honesty,persistence,
and compassion are prerequisites to lives of purpose and meaning,But,in
today’s results-driven culture,the element of character is seldom prioritized
and often overlooked,However,at Hyde,it is woven through every aspect of a
student’s educational experience,so that when she is learning math,playing
soccer,and performing in a play,there is an education taking place that
extends well beyond a traditional education,one providing the kind of skills
necessary to face lifelong challenges with success,
?At Hyde,students often receive more than a glimpse of what they are capable
of accomplishing,because a Hyde education is a whole education,It’s not just
about getting A’s,high SAT scores,and athletic awards; it’s about all of those
things,plus becoming a person with character and confidence who is capable
of reaching her fullest potential,

Family-Based Character Education Family Education at the Hyde Schools focuses on understanding
ourselves,our family and the philosophy of the school,Parents and
students are taught about the Hyde philosophy,including the Five Words
and the Five Principles upon which our community is based,We teach
parenting excellence through the 10 Priorities,and parents and students
learn tools for self-discovery,
Profound personal and family growth is contingent upon the commitment
of all family members to focus on themselves–their attitudes and the role
they play in holding the family back and pushing the family forward,
Every school year,parents along with their children,participate in two
Family Weekends and one three-day Family Learning Center,Parents
also participate in monthly regional meetings,and one regional retreat,
The regional meetings are for the purpose of teaching and helping parents
understand the importance of their own growth in creating a character
culture in the home,Parents will inspire their children when they model
character on a daily basis,take responsible risks,and share their
struggles,Hyde regional groups are the core of where this is taught and
practiced by parents of Hyde students,

Background information
We believe that parents are the primary teachers and the home is the
primary classroom,There are two things we have observed about
character,
1,Character is inspired,not imparted,
We cannot pour it into our students or families,Rather,we can help them
draw it out of themselves and each other,Furthermore,we cannot expect
to inspire our students with a "do as I say not as I do" approach,As
adults,we must develop and maintain our own character if we expect
children to develop theirs,
2,Site Vs,Context,influence the influencers.
We believe that it is necessary to make a difference in parents’ lives if
we are going to have any lasting influence on our students,Our Family
Education Program offers up opportunities to influence the context of
our students’ lives,By context,we refer to those influences that exist
beyond the walls of a classroom,We have learned that good teaching
can lose out over poor parenting,regardless of how either is defined,
Thus,we include parents in their children’s interviews,and ask them to
make a commitment to fully participate in the character development
for the entire family while their child is enrolled at Hyde,
Why educate families and not just students?
