Welcome to The Seven Hills School
A Seven Hills education is based on the
whole child
philosophy, as we educate not just the mind but the heart, and attend to the entirety of the student experience.
From our Reggio-inspired Preschool
and
developmental Kindergarten to our adventurous Lower School classes and rigorous Middle School program, Seven Hills students are on a journey of curiosity and exploration, success and setbacks, awareness of self, and contribution to others. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion fosters compassionate students who shape a more equitable and sustainable world.
If you are new to Seven Hills, welcome. I encourage you to visit our school and get to know us. If you are reconnecting with the school you love, welcome back!

Parents as Partners
We are so glad you’re considering Seven Hills for your child and family. It seems not so long ago that we were researching, receiving information from the school, touring the campus, and going through the admissions process as we learned about Seven Hills’ whole child philosophy, academic programs, and diverse community. We wish you the best of luck as you search for the school that feels “right.” And we look forward to welcoming you to Seven Hills if you decide this is the one for you!

Learning in Action
From the Preschool sandbox to the 8th grade position paper, student learning is fueled by curiosity, exploration, a growth mindset, the encouragement of teachers, and a strong home/school partnership. Our teachers are lifelong learners, energized by what they can learn from their peers about evolving best practices. There is an energy here that you just have to be on campus to feel!

The Whole Child
Learning and growth occur both in and out of the classroom at Seven Hills. We offer established school traditions and new adventures, increasing student agency as our students move through the grades, opportunities for student leadership and service-learning, community-building across ages, competitive sports, and high-interest clubs, and plenty of spaces to relax, reflect and refuel.
