Hyde Enrollment
Ursus:
--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---Looks like both Hyde campuses are a little off their enrollment targets.
From the Boarding School Review Website:
The Hyde School Campuses Each of the two boarding school campuses enrolls 220 students in grades 9 through 12, with limited post graduate student acceptances.
From the Hyde Website:
Hyde-Bath opened on Monday, September 10, with an enrollment of 157 students and their families attending. Hyde-Bath boasts 30 native Maine students representing Portland and Bath, among other towns. The student body also represents 28 states and 7 countries.
Woodstock, CT—Hyde School, a national leader in character-based education, opened its doors for the 2007-2008 school year September 10 to 167 students. The student body is varied this year; coming from Connecticut, New York, California and even far away Washington and Alaska. There are 2 international students this year, a brother and sister from Japan.

So, Jake, any clue or comment you'd care to make? It seems you've had more recent visceral involvement than some of us "elderly statesmen" here have experienced of late...

The therapy industry is shutting them out with cause. The AA/AAlon outward bound model Joe mirrored is in trouble. Mal and Laura are aware of the need to change.They must accept that there time may be limited headed in the current direction. The new Head of School will be the sign of the new era. I'll make every effort to help them along with Truth over Harmoney.

The AA/Outward Bound model is not in enough trouble. That same model is used by pretty much every other institution and program out there for troubled teens and they are raking in the bucks like there is no tomorrow. NATSAP took a big hit last week during the GAO hearings, but those punches do not address the industry as a whole, rather one specific organization that wasn't doing the job it claimed to be. Nevertheless, it was a badly needed piece of publicity for a seamy, sordid world that the average Joe has little knowledge about.
I am sure Hyde will try to distance itself from this world, as it always has, much as alluded to by "Guest" in 'The 10 Priorities' thread a few hours ago.

To me the inclusion of the phrase "character education" does not alter my perception of what Hyde really is, since I have personal experience with Hyde that says otherwise. But I am sure it does a real number on the average person who has not been down that road yet.
It remains to be seen just how much Hyde will be able to distance itself and how successful that distancing will be as far as its marketing campaign goes. Usage of "character-infused" terminology by these other programs certainly obfuscates matters; unfortunately, these terms are too generalized and already in too common usage to register as trademarks. Terminology associated with 'The Biggest Job' will be where they try to go next, I imagine. Did you notice that they registered "The Biggest Job" as a trademark?
BTW, who is the new Headmaster at Bath? Woodstock? What are Laurie and Paul officially doing these days?

Summary of the original post, enrollments for the 2007-2008 academic year:
Hyde-Bath: enrollment of 157
Hyde-Woodstock: enrollment of 167[/list]
From Guidestar, re. Bath campus:HYDE SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED TO PROVIDE A PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION WHICH CENTERS UPON INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE TEACHING OF VALUES AND COURAGE, INTEGRITY, CONCERN FOR OTHERS, LEADERSHIP AND CURIOSITY. APPROXIMATELY 296 STUDENTS ATTENDED THE SCHOOL IN THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006.[/list]
From Guidestar, re. Woodstock campus:HYDE SCHOOL IN SOUTH WOODSTOCK, CT WAS FOUNDED TO PROVIDE A GRADE 7-12 PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION WHICH CENTERS UPON INDIVIDUAL GROWTH AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE TEACHING OF VALUES, COURAGE, INTEGRITY, CONCERN FOR OTHERS, LEADERSHIP AND CURIOSITY. APPROXIMATELY 312 STUDENTS ATTENDED THE SCHOOL DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006[/list]
Either the numbers they reported for last year are excessively inflated, or enrollment has gone way down. Perhaps they are including the Summer Challenge students in with those figures. Does Woodstock have its own Summer Challenge, or is it only at Bath?
