My son was on the younger side in his class, but thrived in the classical Christian education setting. The classrooms are well organized, large, and very clean.

Expecting 4-year-olds to already be writing and recognizing letters feels academically misplaced for a Transitional Kindergarten level. What's worse is the inconsistency--it's clear the "rules" don't apply to everyone, as kids who can't yet write their names are accepted while the process remains a "black box" for everyone else. It feels more like a biased "who you know" system than a transparent evaluation of a child's readiness. We also noticed during our tour that the school's diversity is very low. In today's world, we want our children to learn in an environment that reflects the broader community, and we didn't see that here. Definitely something to consider if transparency and inclusion are priorities for your family.

Since this school decided to retaliate I took my review down until I was able to get them into yet…read moreanother school bc the pastor didn't like me informing parents of the things that were being done to my children here calling the pastor of my kids new school and prevented them from going there. FROM PARENT TO PARENT, MOTHER TO MOTHER, PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL SENDING YOUR KIDS HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT THERE WELLBEING. I have 3 kids that attended. My oldest attended since he's was 2. I have only watched it decline these past 2 yrs since the new pastors took over. W/in these past 2yrs my son has been punched in the face, tooth dislocated & then having it pulled. (Kinder). Then while trying to learn @ school he should feel safe at gets kicked walking up stairs by another child telling him he wants to "Kill him". (1st Grade) When I brought this up that this was not ok. I was informed that, "Oh, ya know kids and video games." Like, no, I don't. This is unacceptable behavior to allow. I have tried to have multiple meetings w/the pastors and principal and it took me over 1yr to get that meeting. Which was a joke in itself. We took time off to handle these issues. The pastors literally told us to our faces they do not like to focus on the school side of things and only like to focus on the church side of things.Are you kidding me? Why would you take over a church and school if you only want to focus on one side you should have just joined a church. You have our children's education in your hands and yet you don't want to focus on the school side? Now we had to make an additional meeting bc the pastors were unfit to handle the situation. I tried to have multiple meetings w/the principal when I brought up issues instead of her dealing with it she sent us a de enrollment form. So we thought if we met with the pastors this would be handled bc they're suppose to be the top of the chain. Boy were we wrong. So the pastors made us have an additional meeting w/the principal for intentionally de enrolling our kids. We only found this out due to the re enrollment fees not being taken out and the registrar informing us the principal asked her to not take our fees out bc we wanted a meeting. So for my son getting bullied you're going to retaliate against us for bringing these issues to the forefront? After dealing with the mishandling of these situations we decided to pull our kids out of this school for their safety. I will also mention other safety concerns. Homeless people sleeping in front of the school. Two people walk up on campus have no child that attends KVCS, ask to use the restroom on the blacktop. They allow these people in the school. Can you imagine if a child was in that RR and these people were pediphiles & did something to one of our children? Now the nail in the coffin of why our kids were pulled out on top of EVERYTHING ELSE was bc I went to p/u my son for an appt thank god I did bc I would not have known this was occurring. I walked in & was informed my son was in the back room w/ a psychiatrist. WITHOUT MY CONSENT. (Behind a closed door w/minor). When I asked if I was going to get an email or a phone call about this I was told by the psychiatrist, "By law I don't need to tell you anything." The school did not call me or inform me this was happening. Come to find out forms were forged w/o my knowledge or consent. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE WITH YOUR CHILDREN! I can go on and on about the negatives of this place. They're NOT about the kids they're about the money. Your child is nothing but a # here. The preschool can't even keep a teacher. Most of the BEST teachers have left here that should tell you EVERYTHING. I should also mention in the preschool I walked in for my younger son's bday and they HAD HIM FACING A WALL and told me he's just been a lot. So how many other times is my son being mistreated? I pulled him out immediately and had to have him at work with me bc of the mistreatment he endured. He cried every morning coming to this place not wanting to go and now I know why. He LOVES the school he goes to now. Then my 7yo tells me after leaving this place that homeless people across the street from the school playground would stare at them watching them play.This school is horrible and I can give you plenty more reasons but I think I gave you enough. I have to let other prospective parents know what is occurring bc this could be your child. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN PLEASE!!

He ran an employee of the month contest and the winner was allowed to pick the name of the street. The only condition was that it had to be a woman's name. The workers usually picked their wife's, daughter's, or mother's name. And that's why the streets have names like Belva, Marta, Luella, and Doray that were popular back in the 1950s.

We've been a Seven Hills family for over five years, and I truly can't speak highly enough of this…read moreincredible school. Our daughter started in 4th grade and is now thriving in 8th; our son began in Kindergarten and is currently in 4th, and both of them have grown in such distinct, beautiful ways thanks to this school's Whole Child approach. What stands out most is how deeply seen and known my kids are. Teachers and faculty don't just know their names, they know their learning styles, personalities, quirks, and strengths. There's a genuine warmth and intentionality that permeates every interaction, from the classroom to the carline. Our daughter was always more cautious and slow to warm up (nothing wrong with that!), but over time, Seven Hills helped her find her voice. She's now confidently volunteering for public speaking opportunities and participating in leadership roles like the Student Ambassador program. The Middle School program has been phenomenal and it's given her a strong academic foundation and the confidence to advocate for herself. One of her favorite subjects has been science, thanks to their incredible Middle School lab and interactive curriculum. She'll often tell us about the experiments they're doing, and it's clear she's not just learning science, she's experiencing it. One of our favorite traditions is the Buddies Program, where older and younger students are paired up for the year (think: 4th graders with Kindergartners). Watching my kids grow into both the mentee and the mentor role has been incredibly touching. They read together, do projects, and genuinely form bonds that span grades and years. We also love the family-friendly events that bring everyone together, from community dinners to beginning-of-year teacher phone calls. These touch points make us, as parents, feel like we're part of something bigger, not just dropping our kids off, but truly participating in their educational journey. The curriculum is rich and thoughtfully designed. My daughter learned about World War II in history class -- and then walked through the beaches of Normandy during the school's immersive Europe trip. It's the kind of education that sticks for a lifetime. The arts are equally valued: my son is learning ukulele in 4th grade, and my daughter is playing guitar in 8th. The annual plays, music programs, and outdoor educational trips -- it's all there. My only complaint? I just wish Seven Hills went through 12th grade. The transition out is going to be tough, not because she isn't ready, but because the bar has been set so high. After five years of academic growth, rich leadership experiences, and meaningful social-emotional development, my daughter is heading into high school capable, and deeply grounded. Honestly, I'd keep my kids here forever if I could, but alas, even magical places like this have to end at 8th grade!

Paid three years to realize that they don't have any learning program for kids. Reading the review…read moreI can only agree with the bad one. Presentation very well. But it's like you pay to let your kids out of your home just for playing. There is not focus of learning for kids, not a follow up to what they should achieve and what can be done. Looks like there are teachers they're just nannies over there. Make sure to know what's the school year plan before you realize it's too late for you kiddo. I understand who was disgusted to be proposed to be a teacher that actually wasn't. That's a shame somebody has to regulate all the private schools. Federal government should do something. It's everyone right to have the chance to learn in a Proper way especially when you give to them your Moneys.

Our kids are receiving a top-notch Christian private school education at a price that is refreshingly affordable. They're challenged in the classroom, supported by a strong community, and encouraged in their faith--all of which is exactly what we hoped for when choosing a school.

As a parent of a child with learning disabilities and anxiety, finding the right middle school was…read moreone of the most important decisions our family made. Looking back on the past three years, I can honestly say that this school exceeded our expectations in every way. From day one, the teachers and staff created an environment where my child felt accepted, understood, and valued. Their patience, compassion, and willingness to meet students where they are made an incredible difference. Rather than focusing on challenges, they recognized my child's strengths and worked tirelessly to build confidence while providing the support needed to succeed. What stood out most was the school's commitment to inclusivity. My child never felt singled out for needing accommodations or extra support. The teachers fostered a culture of kindness, respect, and understanding that allowed all students to feel like they belonged. Whenever anxiety became overwhelming, there was always someone willing to listen, encourage, and help navigate difficult moments. The growth we witnessed over these three years has been remarkable. Academically, my child developed stronger skills, greater independence, and a genuine belief in their ability to succeed. Socially, they formed meaningful friendships and became much more comfortable participating in class and school activities. Emotionally, they gained resilience, self-confidence, and coping skills that will benefit them far beyond middle school. We are deeply grateful to the teachers, counselors, and staff who invested so much time, care, and dedication into helping our child thrive. Their support helped transform middle school from something we feared into an experience that prepared our child for the future. I cannot recommend this school highly enough to families seeking a nurturing, inclusive, and supportive environment for their children.

She transferred from a large public middle school where she often felt lost socially and overwhelmed by the large class sizes and disruptive environment. Looking back, we only wish we had made the move sooner. At Noble, she has found a nurturing and supportive community where she truly feels seen and valued. The small class sizes have made such a difference, both academically and emotionally. She has made meaningful friendships and has really been embraced by both the students and staff. One of the things we appreciate most is the hands-on learning and enriching field trip opportunities that simply were not possible at her previous big public school. We have also been so impressed with Principal Cassie and how involved and hands-on she is with the students and families. Her leadership creates a warm, welcoming environment where the children genuinely feel supported and cared for. The change has been incredibly positive for our daughter. We now plan to send our son to NLA when he enters middle school.
