Ready for their First Steps – Toddler/Early Childhood

For children who will be 12-24 months old in September 2021

Tuesday, March 2, 2021   1:30-2 p.m.

Toddlers are eager learners. Before you know it, they are beginning to express themselves through words, exploring new ideas in books, developing motor skills at play, and their curious minds want to know “why?” and “how?” and “what?”

For children in our Beginnings Program and Pre-k for 2-year-olds, adventure is around every corner. In creative and immersive learning environments, carefully designed curriculum allows children to engage in rich experiences to develop their motor, early language and literacy, and socialization skills—all led by our team of early childhood teacher experts.

Join Kara Meador, our early childhood director, and Andi Simon, director of admission for early childhood, to learn about the values of early childhood learning and our program options for 1- and 2-year-olds. 

A Whole-child Approach to Elementary Education

For students entering grades 1-5 for the 2021-22 school year

Thursday, March 4, 2021    9:30-10:15 a.m.

 Seven Hills prides itself on being a school that focuses on the whole child and providing a safe, caring, and compassionate environment for students to grow.

Join Angie Bielecki, chair of the Seven Hills Counseling Department and Doherty School counselor, to learn about ways Seven Hills school counselors and teachers work together to create this environment of support and learning in grades 1-5. Nancy McCormick, director of admission for grades 1-5, will also be on hand to answer your questions about next steps, availability, and the admission timeline.

Making Middle School Magic – A Community within a Community

For students entering grades 6-8 for the 2021-22 school year

Wednesday, April 14, 2021  7-7:45 p.m.

 The sixth, seventh, and eighth grades involve exciting transitions for young people. They’re becoming aware of their emerging individuality, firming up their beliefs, and more deeply developing their character. And, as these students are making this amazing evolution, the Seven Hills Middle School teaching team has their backs!

Guided by our educational philosophy that Middle Schoolers thrive best in environments designed just for them, our sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders learn and grow in dedicated spaces we call, “communities within a community.” Surrounded by empathetic classmates and teachers, students embrace opportunities to try new things and take supported risks.

Learn more about our Middle School educational philosophy and our exciting new Middle School building project from Head of Middle School Bill Waskowitz. Nancy Clark, director of admission for grades 6-12, will also be on hand to answer your questions about next steps, availability, and the admission timeline.

Seven Hills Students Claim Rare Recognition with Cincinnati's Overture Awards

Three Seven Hills students are moving on to the final round of Overtures! Congratulations to senior Alex Frohn and junior Jenny Hu in the creative writing category and to senior Andrew Yang in the instrumental category. This year, the prestigious, rare recognition is even more underscored by the fact that only four students in Greater Cincinnati won in the creative writing category and Jenny and Alex are two of them, said Upper School English teacher Caleb Paull. “Jenny and Alex are remarkable writers who actually have careers as authors if they choose,” said Paull, who has taught both students in his creative writing classes. “Jenny is very actively involved in our literary magazine and it’s really a much-deserved recognition for both of them. I really think these are two students we ‘re going to see published in the future, if that is the direction in which they want to take their careers.”

Stinger Madness Begins March 1!

The seventh annual Stinger Madness, our yearly week-long community giving event will run from March 1 through March 5. We need your help to fill the hills!
