I graduated from Hayden quite a few years ago, but most things have not changed since then. There were plenty of teachers who obviously should not have been teaching because it was obvious that they did not enjoy teaching and did not like many of their students. Also, Hayden is a jock school, so much so that its to the detriment of academic excellence. If youre not an athlete, you are NOTHING socially. Which brings me to another point: Hayden is a very cliquish place, and numerous students are going to have a very difficult time finding their niche or where they fit in.
In general, Hayden is like a lot of other private/non-public schools: it is all about money and constantly raising more money. There is no doubt that Hayden gives preference to students who come from wealthy and prominent families, whereas students from more humble backgrounds are treated as second-class citizens.
Academics are so-so. There is not a great variety of courses or electives to choose from. And there are no nuns on the staff and there havent been for years. Theres a chaplain, but you can barely call it a Catholic school now.
There are MANY better options than Hayden, including public schools and homeschooling.

The education I was provided did not prepare me for college well at all. There was a lack of variety in classes offered. I had a few good teachers, but many others who were not. The majority of students were stuck up and rude. I feel bad that my parents wasted the money on this school.

I am the person I am today because of the education and experiences I had at Hayden. Hayden's motto, "enter to learn, leave to serve" truly applies to each and every student who goes to Hayden.

Hayden was an excellent school to attend. Not only did the smaller size of my class and school offer me the opportunity to be involved on some level in numerous activities, but I felt the teachers and classes definitely prepared me for further education without a hitch. I am very grateful for the education and life lessons I took away from Hayden. And on top of that, I totally enjoyed high school.
