SUMMER

Summer Offerings 2018 Ages 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16

You know how the typical summer goes for your children, a week of “school’s over!” exhilaration followed by two months of searching for activities to fill the days. The Seven Hills School Summer Program is anything but typical. And it can transform your child’s summer from uninspiring to unforgettable. For starters, the Seven Hills Summer Program shares many of the same aspects as our school – it’s hands-on, adventurous, energetic, creative, and offers a full spectrum of activities, from technology and science to city-wide field trips and fine arts. We invite children of all ages – from three to sixteen – onto our campus over the course of the summer to pursue their interests and discover new ones. Our small groups and seasoned staff – many of whom teach full-time at Seven Hills – provide individual attention and support to your child as she explores, climbs, constructs, and learns her way through summer. You can sign up for one week or sign up for all eight. Either way, you can be sure that summer isn’t the same at Seven Hills.
