Hyde School - Woodstock

Hyde’s college preparatory program is based upon the development of character and promotes an interdisciplinary curriculum encompassing traditional secondary academics, athletics, performing arts, and community service. In addition to traditional grading, faculty and peer evaluations are stressed. An unusual degree of responsibility is given to each student in the overall decision-making and operation of the School. All international students are paired with a student ambassador, who serves as a mentor, and an American roommate. At Hyde School, all students participate in the arts, athletics, performing arts, community service, and campus jobs, as well. Students say they never feel left out!

In a 200-room dormitory facility, students live in single-sex dorm sections. There are pay phones available for student use in each dorm. Dorm rooms house 2-3 students. There is a student life and activity center where students can play games and watch TV/movies.
