Why 7HS?

Boys learn differently, so we teach differently. Middle school is a pivotal time for a child and it is often when many boys "check out" of school. Frankly, traditional middle schools aren't designed for boys to succeed. That's not the case at Seven Hills.

Experiential Learning

Most boys learn best by doing. The days at Seven Hills are filled with interdisciplinary, hands-on learning. We've integrated signature programs like Exploratories, Team Teaching, and River Days to further enhance the indoor and outdoor classroom experience.

River Days

Once a month, the entire school moves off campus to the James River. Students undertake labs, engage in activities related to specific academic subjects, and work under the supervision of employees of James River Park on service projects that benefit the river and its environs.

Traditions

After opening our doors in 2001, we have established numerous time-honored traditions. These programs and events bond past, present, and future Seven Hills students, faculty, and family members. Which House will you be sorted into?
