A school that bases its education model on character over ability. The student population is a combination of kids who want to be there and kids who do NOT want to be there. The end result is that a large majority of the kids leave Hyde with a better understanding of their capabilities, their responsibilities and an appreciation for their classmates.

I understand how some former Hyde students resent the way they were treated at Hyde. Hyde's approach, although certainly not a cookie-cutter model, does not work for everyone. No system, however flexible, does.

Notice how the Hyde detractors are very passionate in their dislike of Hyde. Passion is a value that Hyde values, even in its negative uses. Turn that passion into a positive flow. Create your own school following your own principles. It's easy to lob grenades. It's more effective to put your principles to positive use.
Hyde School Students A & B are both intelligent, but suffer from mild depression, indifference, lack of self esteem, and have dabbled in drugs and alcohol. During the Hyde experience, Student A decides to take control of their life. Student B chooses to resent it. What does this mean? It means Hyde was able to reach Student A and was not able to reach Student B. It does NOT mean that Student A is a success and Student B is a failure. It means Student A responded and Student B didn't. So Student B needs to look for a different solution.

Then, there is the kid that wants to go to Hyde. Why? Simply put, the Hyde approach appeals to them. It's kind of like why would anyone join the army. And the answer to both questions is that there are certain aspects that are appealing and there is the promise of long term benefits.

While there are millions of dedicated and committed people in this world, Hyde faculty will go to the ends of the earth to help kids and families connect with their potentials.

Hyde Schools is a network of private and public schools dedicated to the development of character in students and families.
If you visit Hyde School, you may get SEVEN—5 fingers and 2 eyes. That’s a hand shake and eye contact…Hyde believes that beneath every rebel spirit lies a true leader capable of reaching amazing heights. Hyde fosters the transition from rebel to leader. We’re not an ordinary boarding school.

Hyde is a small village loacted on the outer rim of Clearfield in central PA. Most residents live in mobile homes or small shacks. The local bar is a favored meeting place for the upper eschelons of society (bikers and wanna be bikers). There is also a fire department in hyde. they call themselves "the boys from the city" The extremely underactive firefighters are often seen on white plastic chairs infront of the station. The residents of hyde are reffered to as " HYDE-ITES". The spawn of the "HYDE-ITES" are known only as dirty faced kids.
Look at what that guy is wearing he must be a HYDE-ITE.

Where'd all those little dirty faced kids come from? I dont know must be from the village of Hyde.

Never fear! The boys from the city are here!

Town in Upstate New York. Full of trailer parks and hoes. Known for the teacher who stabbed himself in the bathroom and blamed it on a student and the kid who ran around naked then got his dick cut off. Yes, this seriously happened in America. Worst of all, in New York.
OMG look at that ho all up on my man.

Don't sweat that bitch she goes to FDR.

Eww she's from Hyde Park. Damn he must really be desperate.

A part of Boston that, despite the idiots on here, is not "the hood." Hyde Park is a relatively nice part of Boston that contains Readville and Fairmount. It has a few bangers but is mostly a nice place to live.
My friend Will works at Ron's in Hyde Park, it's not a bad place

Be ware of this man. Ben has the most awkward rizz and is an actual emo that has mommy issues. He moves from one person to another at the speed of light and can not be trusted. He sends the most clapped photos and he is always HYDEING on chat. If you want a toxic relationship then this is your guy. A WALKING RED FLAG. Be warned.
Don't tell me your snapping Benjamin Hyde everyone knows he is a walking red flag
