The thing that I like the best about teaching at Seven Hills is how much support I get from my colleagues and administrators in regard to trying new things. Whenever someone at Seven Hills wants to try a new teaching method they are instantly greeted with a chorus of ‘how can I help’ from their colleagues.”
