Welcome
Fundamentally, we believe that middle school students are rewarding, fascinating people to work with who have a tremendous capacity to learn significantly in many areas, including self-awareness, independence, relationships with others, and understanding the world.
We value the middle school years.
Hyla is an independent school for grades 6 - 8
Our Mission
The mission of Hyla Middle School is to create an educational environment in which middle school children are intrigued with learning.
This environment is founded on close, caring connections between teachers and students that encourage students to respect and value themselves and others. In this environment, we provide a strong academic program that develops competent, self-reliant problem solvers. Beyond academics, we strive to help students grow as individuals with integrity.
