Contents |
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 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.
