“Every Seven Hills student, on both campuses, will benefit today, and every Seven Hills family long into the future will remember our vision.” — Head of School Chris Garten
This stunning space, at the heart of our school, is a hub of inspiration and creativity all year round, enriching the lives of every Seven Hills student by supporting our performing arts programing and connecting our students to a broader world of ideas. Building on the traditions of Books for Lunch and Creating Conversations, The Schiff Center hosts a vastly expanded series of assembly programs and special events—including visits from artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, politicians, community activists, and thought-leaders from our community and beyond who provoke spirited debate and inspire students in all four divisions to consider new ideas and points of view. With just one building, we’re opening up so many possibilities for our future.
