At Seven Hills we celebrate what makes middle school boys different, and we find meaningful ways to channel their energy and social needs. More independent activity, more say in what happens in the classroom, more responsibility for their learning, more peer instruction, and more hands-on experiences that help them organize concepts and reality.

Simply put, Seven Hills is a school that boys love. We keep the boys at the center of every choice in designing both our instruction and campus spaces. That effort pays dividends in making this a place where boys are comfortable to work, play, learn, and grow in amazing ways.

Learning is fun at Seven Hills because the joy of it is modeled throughout our community. Each Seven Hills teacher is challenged to model curiosity based on her or his own spirit of inquiry. Teachers embrace each boy’s achievement, from his slightest observations to his most stunning accomplishments.

Teachers at Seven Hills are encouraged to reduce teaching time at the front of the classroom and instead to work side-by-side with students during class periods. We employ a variety assessment tools to measure student learning and progress. Tests function as learning exercises that deepen the learning experience rather than generate performance-based comparisons.
