Learning Connections Center

Learning Connections is an academic support program that helps students master essential academic skills and develop executive function in order to promote responsible and independent learning.

Students in the program meet in small groups with Learning Connections faculty as part of their daily course rotations. Instruction is designed to reinforce fundamental learning strategies by focusing on study-skill development, successful test-taking, and organization of time, materials, and study spaces. The program also provides scaffolded skill support for class assignments when applicable.

The low mentor-to-student ratio fosters the bonds of trust essential to strong working relationships. Hyde values social-emotional learning and the action-reflection cycle. Accordingly, the Learning Connections program includes ongoing reflection on strengths and challenges, creating regular opportunities for students and faculty to develop, implement, and review learning goals, short and long-term time management strategies, and tailored learning plans. The collaborative learning relationships among students, Learning Connections faculty, and subject teachers facilitate positive academic outcomes and empower students to work towards achieving their academic potential. Meanwhile, we promote students' growth in self-advocacy, academic responsibility, and ownership.

There is an additional fee for Learning Connections.
