The Hyde Schools are private high schools in Bath, Maine and Woodstock, Connecticut. The first Hyde School was founded in 1966.

History

The original Hyde School was founded in 1966 in Bath, Maine by math teacher Joseph Gauld. Gauld had what he calls a "crisis of conscience" and became interested in providing education that included character development alongside academic achievement.

A second campus was later established in 1996 in Woodstock, Connecticut. Hyde also has public school initiatives in New Haven, Connecticut; Brooklyn, New York; and the Bronx, New York, and provides parenting workshops and wilderness experiences.

In the media

In 1993, Joseph Gauld’s experiences were published in his book Character First: The Hyde School Way and Why It Works (Scribner). Television shows, such as ABC’s 20/20,[1] CBS’s 60 Minutes[2] and NBC’s The Today Show[3] have aired full segments on Hyde, and the Hyde character concept has been featured in publications such as Education Week,[4] Insight, The New York Times, USA Today, The Boston Globe, and The Wall Street Journal.
