High School Vision: The Hyde High School is a clean, safe, supportive and productive environment, where there is a strong partnership with parents, staff, students and local and international communities.
Hyde Leadership Public Charter High School’s academic program is designed to challenge, engage, develop and support lifelong learners.
In each classroom, students are challenged to go after their personal best by peers and teachers.
- Teachers set high expectations for our students and facilitate learning through a thoroughly-mapped curriculum that is aligned to the DC Public Schools standards of learning and the DC Comprehensive Assessment System (CAS).
Hyde-DC teachers and parents work together to ensure that learning is occurring in the home to support the learning environment at school.
At the center of the academic program is the will and desire for every student to perform well in any university setting.
Families and students receive extensive support from the College Placement Office in selecting and applying to colleges and determining how to pay for higher education. Once a student leaves Hyde-DC, the expectation is that he or she will pursue higher education and that Hyde has sufficiently prepared them for that challenge.
Hyde-DC teachers and parents work together to ensure that learning is occurring in the home to support the learning environment at school.
The core academic program at Hyde-DC's High School
consists of five departments:
In addition to five academic courses, each high school student takes
- three seasons of Co-curricular activities and
- a full year of Reflection Experiences (School Meetings, Discovery Group Seminars, Journaling, Recognition, and Family Weekends, Retreats and Outdoor Challenge Outings).
Hyde Leadership Public Charter School uses a full inclusion model to serve the needs of all students. The school's cultural climate and the attitude of Hyde administrators, teachers, and support staff embrace the belief that children with special needs, to the maximum extent possible, belong in classes and the school community along with every other student.
