Signature Programs
Inspired by our future-focused educational philosophy, our carefully honed signature programs set Seven Hills apart.
"Our top-notch academic, athletic, and enrichment programs, coupled with our supportive culture and community, allow students to pursue their emerging interests in deep and meaningful ways."
AN INTENTIONAL DESIGN
In impassioned class discussions, painstaking data gathering and analysis, and innovative problem-solving, our students acquire the habits of mind they will need to excel—not only in college, but also in 21st century workplaces. Guided by our teachers, these learning experiences help students acquire a lifelong aptitude for thinking more deeply, pushing further, and reaching higher, not only in a school setting but in the collaborative workplaces that lie ahead of them.
Our faculty are deeply committed to innovative methods for student learning, both in and out of the classroom. It’s why they continually evolve their curricula with new content, new methods, and new approaches: to keep students engaged and excited about the material, every single day. This approach also means that our students do more than just participate; they play an active role in shaping their own learning. We always want to know: What’s catching their attention? What project was their favorite, or which one left them wanting more? Are they drawn to design thinking, or curious about other cultures? As responsive as they are rigorous, our signature programs draw inspiration from time-tested methods as well as from leading educational research at Harvard and Stanford. These signature experiences, part of a comprehensive, intentionally designed education, ensure that your student will leave Seven Hills confident and ready to dive into what’s next.
