6th - 8th Grade

Middle School science at Seven Hills is dynamic and designed to prepare students for high school and beyond. Through experiments, labs, design challenges, and other hands-on and head-on experiences, students build a strong foundation in scientific knowledge, develop confidence in the lab, and explore how science shapes our world.
Students investigate topics across multiple disciplines—including geology, chemistry, biology, physics, human physiology, astronomy, and both electrical and mechanical engineering. The program emphasizes interactive learning, with daily opportunities to create, tinker, design, innovate, and solve real-world challenges. Along the way, students are encouraged to ask bold questions, share ideas, and grow in confidence as young scientists.

By the time they graduate, students leave with a love of discovery and the skills to succeed in their next academic chapter.
