Open Houses

Hyde Park Day School Open Houses are a great way to learn what our unique academic program has to offer your child.

Come see what we are all about.

Hyde Park Day School Virtual Information Session

Virtual Information Sessions will be held on a regular basis during the academic year so that prospective parents or other interested parties may gain a better understanding of our mission. They include a comprehensive presentation about the program and time for questions and answers.

We encourage prospective parents to attend a Virtual Information Session as the first step to determine whether HPDS is the right fit for your child. However, because applications are processed based on the date they are received complete, applications may be submitted before attending an Open House.

Please note Open Houses are for adults only.
