Create an inspiring school culture

Schools should be safe and free from bullying. But they should also be so much more. We’ve developed a culture improvement program that goes beyond conventional SEL initiatives, one that helps your middle or secondary school build character and fully embrace values like respect, creativity, effort and inclusiveness.

As a second-generation educator with 45+ years experience, I cannot recall a time when people were not talking about educational reform. What’s the hold-up? We care more about what our students can do than about who they are, and they know it. The solution lies in a change in priorities: Let us value attitude over aptitude, effort over ability, and character over talent. Developed over 50 years at public, private, and charter schools throughout the country, the Hyde Discovery Process helps schools establish inspiring school cultures that can enhance academic learning and prepare young people for successful lives of purpose.

Every school has a culture. Is yours by design or default?

Having a character curriculum is just as important as having an academic curriculum. Our CASEL aligned program offers teachers exercises and lessons to help students envision and pursue the best version of themselves.
