Show Up, Study, & Serve: College Success Guaranteed
By Malcolm Gauld, President of Hyde Schools

This is a “do” book. It is not a “don’t” book.

This book focuses on three simple things you need to “do” after you enroll in college. It pretty much omits the “don’ts,” the negative actions you should avoid.

The book, which originated from a 45-minute talk Gauld delivers every spring to college-bound seniors, includes parameters describing what the book is versus what it isn’t, the number of hours students need to surrender per week, as well as the three “rules” to follow for achieving success in college.

Gauld writes: “In large part, the book has been inspired by the looks on the faces of the students I have watched return to visit their alma maters after their first year of college. Some glow like vibrant, conquering heroes, while others look and feel pretty bummed out. This book aspires to increase the number in the first group and decrease the number in the second group.” BUY NOW

Naure’s Parenting Process: Five Simple Truths to Empower Children through Parenting Excellence
By Joseph Gauld

This book unlocks nature’s powerful process for raising children, a process that produces truly fulfilling and exceptional lives. It is available to every parent, family and child. It’s an exciting challenge, which should become our next frontier.

Nature’s Parenting Process, centering on what Gauld calls the “inherent guidelines for raising children,” was inspired by the nationally recognized parenting and family concepts created 44 years ago at the first Hyde School in Bath, Maine. Gauld’s assertion — that parenting today has become painfully confused because of a prevalent mindset that ignores the basic foundation of child-rearing — targets a parenting trend that he sees as both arbitrary and self-regulating and threatens the emotional well-being of today’s youth.

Character First: The Hyde School Way and Why It Works
By Joseph Gauld

Courage. Integrity. Leadership. Curiosity. Concern. These values are sadly missing from today’s schools. Joe Gauld knew this too well as a teacher, coach, and administrator at secondary schools that were supposed to be among the best in the country. He saw a system preoccupied with students’ ability and academic achievement, and blind to their character. Gauld decided to do something about it - start his own school. BUY NOW
