“Zoom meetings are nice for kids to feel connected. It is the right frequency for us.” -Parent of a Seven Hills Lower School student, spring 2020 “I don’t know of any other school that has provided the structure, the academics, the support and the social opportunities for their students more than 7 Hills (and I have talked to a lot of parents and children in other schools as part of my job as a physician).”-Parent of a Seven Hills Upper School student, spring 2020
“I’m overall impressed with how the teachers and school are handling remote learning. Way to go teachers and staff! 🙂“ -Parent of a Seven Hills Lower School student, spring 2020 “We can’t thank the faculty enough for all of their hard work. Communication has been great. Given this crazy situation, we feel blessed to have the girls at 7 Hills … we really don’t see how it could go any better.”-Parent of Seven Hills Students, spring 2020
“I am truly impressed and deeply appreciative of how uniquely well Seven Hills is handling the distance learning. Faculty, administrators, and staff are clearly putting a tremendous amount of work into this unusual approach to conducting classes.

She is interested and engaged during the school day and still feels connected to her friends, classmates and teachers. Thank you for providing such an excellent educational experience during this difficult time.” -Parent of a Seven Hills Middle School student, spring 2020

Connect with a Parent!Would you like to speak with a parent about their Seven Hills experience or their thoughts on remote learning this spring? “I have a student in another school so I have a little comparison. Seven hills is doing a fantastic job. The amount of screen time with the new shortened classes is just right. My daughter is still being held accountable for the material and able to get extra help one on one when needed. She enjoys seeing her classmates and is even participating in clubs via zoom. I know this isn’t ideal—and a tough way to finish out her high school career, but this is so much better than what our sons high school is offering that we are considering a switch of schools for him in the fall.” -Parent of a Seven Hills Upper School student, spring 2020 “I think you all have done a phenomenal job of EVERYTHING— lesson design, differentiated instruction, potential for personal modification and independent choice… all of it. Not to mention how thorough you are in your parent communication. THANK YOU for making this the best experience possible under the circumstances. We are so grateful to be part of such a supportive school community with such dedicated and well-trained staff. LOVE you all.” -Parent of a Seven Hills Lower School student, spring 2020
