Seven Hills Summer Program General Information

A Glimpse into Summer at The Seven Hills School Welcome to The Seven Hills School, a community of learners and a place to grow and thrive.

For more than 100 years, first as the College Preparatory School (CPS), Hillsdale and Lotspeich, now as a unified non-sectarian community serving students in grades Pre-K through 12 on two campuses, Seven Hills has challenged and inspired thousands of students. Our hallways are filled with inspirational and dedicated teachers. Our students challenge each other to be their best selves and to hold each other to the highest possible standards. Perhaps most importantly, students here love to learn and they have fun doing it.

Our summer program at Seven Hills is a thriving extension of the larger school experience. Summer at Seven Hills is in its 29th successful year. For nine weeks every year, we’re proud to offer enrichment programs on our Hillsdale Campus that challenge and delight students from age three through eighteen. Imagine your threeyear-old spending his or her morning constructing solar system artwork and the afternoon enjoying free-spirited water play with friends. Consider your nine-year-old child’s excitement when he or she comes home with a great new recipe shared and cooked with our own award-winning chef. Think about the look on your child’s face when he or she finds out about going on outdoor expeditions to the Little Miami River, King’s Island and The Beach Waterpark with Seven Hills faculty members.

That’s what makes summer at Seven Hills School so special. The look of joy on a child’s face as he or she experiences what it is like to be a part of this outstanding community of learners.
