Academic excellence and preparation for the pursuit of higher education is a key component of the Hyde Program. Since 2003, one-hundred percent (100%) of Hyde-DC's seniors have been accepted to (and attend!) four-year colleges and universities. The list of colleges is impressive. Equally important is how many Hyde-DC alumni credit their Hyde education wtih ensuring their smooth and successful transition to college life.
Indeed, the primary focus of our College Placement Office is to guide students through the entire college preparation process -- touring prospective colleges; deciding which colleges to apply to; completing and submitting applications by the deadline; registering for SAT and other admissions tests; and securing financial aid, scholarships and other forms of financial assistance.
In other words, Hyde-DC's College Placement Office teaches students the "tools" needed to not only become a college scholar, but to graduate from their college or university with the education and life skills to fulfill their unique destiny.
Hyde's College Placement Office also hosts College Prep Parent Nights to explain to our families about the in-depth college application process their high school student will experience and the expectations of the student throughout the college prep process.
