Hyde Park Baptist Schools began as a Child Development Center in 1968. In the fall of 1968, a Kindergarten began for 5 year old, and the school began to add one grade per year until it reached Sixth Grade. As the school began to grow, it separated from the CDC and formed the Hyde Park Baptist School system. Located in the Hyde Park neighborhood near the University of Texas, the HP Elementary School's mission was to provide the opportunity for an excellent Christian education to the Austin community. HP Elementary was fully accredited by the Texas Education Agency in the 1970s.
