Our Story
The Seven Hills School has a rich history dating back to 1906, beginning with the College Preparatory School founded by Mary Harlan Doherty. In the following decade, Helen Lotspeich established the Clifton Open-Air School, nurturing children's natural curiosity. The Hillsdale School was founded in 1928, providing an alternative private education. The merger of these institutions in 1974 created the modern Seven Hills School, dedicated to fostering a love of learning.
