“Wes truly is outstanding in every way and always manages to be both engaging and effective. We could not have asked for a more brilliant, thoughtful, and considerate person to be a part of our son’s education and in our lives.”

— Judy Chu, Ed.D and Matthew Jacobson, Ph.D


Personalized learning

Seven Hills takes an individualized approach to lessons, teaching to the strengths and learning styles of every student. Our teaching style is creative and fun, yet academically rigorous, and we teach students of all ages. Our goal is to bring dynamism to classical education and to present a modern approach that addresses the diversity of life and thought throughout the ancient world.

"Spoken Latin is amazing! It is a very interactive class and the teacher [Caroline] is very kind and encouraging! It covers many essential parts of Latin speech that many textbooks skive over. I would definitely recommend this class to everyone from beginners to advanced Latinists!"

— Student from Caroline’s Spoken Latin Class


Creative yet rigorous

Seven Hills teachers bring the energy of their own artistic pursuits to instruction. Our teachers meet with students once or twice per week over Zoom, and are available year-round for students who wish to learn over the summer. Group classes are recorded and are available in case of missed classes.

“Professor Alwood is very patient, understanding, caring, and kind. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his students and the role that he can have in their lives as a teacher. He makes his students feel like we’re all on this journey of acquiring more knowledge together.”
