Middle School, Reimagined for Boys

BEST school for middle school boys! 7HS focus on social/emotional growth and executive skills is unparalleled. It’s a place where your son can be his true, authentic self without fear of repercussions or bullying. Teachers and staff do a phenomenal job of not only teaching academics but how to be a contributing member of society. 7HS is a safe place for boys learning to become men – they can make mistakes and learn from them without having their mistakes define them. A true gem in the city of Richmond!

Two years into our Seven Hills journey, we’re still thrilled by the remarkable growth our son has experienced academically and personally. The teachers’ genuine care shines through a rigorous—yet never overwhelming—curriculum that keeps his curiosity alive. Their balanced approach challenges him to think critically while giving the support he needs to thrive. The wide array of afternoon clubs lets him explore new passions and makes school a place he can’t wait to return to each day.

It’s clear that 7HS creates an environment where boys are encouraged to be themselves, challenged to grow, and supported every step of the way. We’re grateful for the school’s commitment to nurturing strong, capable, and confident young men.

This is the most impressive school I have encountered for my son. The staff is impressively professional, intentional, caring, and exceptional when it comes to connecting with students and families. I am sad that this will be my son’s (8th) grade, but I am so happy he was able to experience this school and the family-like environment it provided. Administration and staff are top notch and always available for any questions. My son has excelled so much academically, emotionally, and socially. I am proud of him and I can thank Seven Hills for providing such a supportive and friendly environment where he is able to truly be himself

I have been so impressed with 7HS and the way the teachers, leaders, and all staff truly understand how boys learn and thrive. In just the first year, I’ve watched my 10 year old son grow tremendously—not just academically, but as a whole person. He’s learning who he is, discovering his interests, and gaining confidence in his independence. I’ve seen him step into leadership roles, develop his talents, and use his voice in meaningful and impactful ways.
