Using the most respected academic research in the field, along with our own expertise, we have created a dynamic educational model that keeps students engaged by providing an active classroom where each student is seen, heard, and challenged to do their best.

Our students are supported and encouraged to be themselves, discover and follow their interests and talents, and support their peers on their journeys. We create a safe environment for boys to express the full range of human emotions, and guide them in developing an emotional vocabulary to communicate their feelings and to understand themselves and others.

Perfectly suited for those awkward middle years in a boy's life. We came to 7HS from a public elementary school and returned to a highly competitive public Governor's school for high school. I honestly wasn't expecting to choose an independent school option for middle school either, but once we got to know 7HS, it was clear that this opportunity was too good to pass up. Many guys simply "get through" their middle school years. 7HS understands exactly what middle school boys need because that's their sole focus. 7HS creates an environment for the guys to thrive in those middle school years, both academically and socially. 7HS graduates go to high school confident in who they are as human beings. They are well-prepared to succeed in high school and beyond. My son is now looking at colleges and is clearly drawn to places with the potential to inspire and champion his ongoing growth and development like 7HS did for him in middle school. 7HS was the best investment that our family could have made at such an important developmental period in my son's life.

Because of moving and age of our boys it has landed us in various school configurations throughout the years, a total of 4 private schools and 2 public schools, so we have experienced several different settings and kinds of education. Seven Hills School has by far been the best school for our boys (currently two attend). They are academically strong and could have excelled anywhere, but here its not a sole focus on academics. Do not get me wrong academics are strong and the boys' graduate and do very well in all different local private and public high schools. This school goes beyond typical academics and teaches critical thinking (something we found not truly being taught in many other schools), as well as supporting the boys to develop their character in a environment that is not threatening.

Seven Hills School is amazing. Because of many different reasons we have been to 6 other schools (private and public) and by far this school has provided the best fit for our boys. The school's philosophy is to focus on the whole child, providing an academically rigorous curriculum (see the list of where the boys are accepted for high school), but also adding as much emphasis for character development, self confidence and really nurturing the boy to be the best person he can be!
