In anticipation of the Beijing International School Expo on January 16-17, we’re highlighting local and international schools around Beijing from the upcoming 2016-2017 beijingkids School Choice Guide, which comes out on January 4
The Hyde Academy approach is one that focuses on excellence in core subjects. We believe that students who have a solid foundation in mathematics, science, English, Chinese, humanities, and the arts will be in a much better position to become the innovators, artists, scientists, and strategists of the future. Hyde Academy is currently accepting students from Grades 1 to 9. Hyde Academy’s comprehensive program introduces students at all grades and levels to exciting lessons in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Our experienced educators and directors have spent decades in Beijing working with parents, children, and schools. With this academic knowledge and cultural understanding, our team is uniquely qualified to launch an innovative school that blends the best of east and west while benefitting directly from Hyde’s four key supplementary programs: Hyde Tutoring, Hyde Admissions Counseling, Hyde Camps, and Hyde Test Prep.
