The Seven Hills School is a private, non-denominational school in Cincinnati, Ohio. It consists of Doherty (PK–5) and Lotspeich (PK–5), Seven Hills Middle School (6–8) and Seven Hills Upper School (9–12). The Seven Hills School is the largest independent, non-church-affiliated school in Ohio. The Seven Hills School is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools. Along with four other local schools, Seven Hills was recognized in 2009 by Cincinnati Magazine for Outstanding Achievement in the category of General Excellence.
The Seven Hills School was formed in 1974 from the combination of three Cincinnati institutions — the College Preparatory School, the Hillsdale School and the Lotspeich School. The Doherty School was founded by Miss Doherty. It was called Miss Doherty's College Preparatory School for Young Girls from its founding in 1906 until 1974. Meanwhile, Lotspeich, the middle school, and the high school were known as Hillsdale-Lotspeich. Both schools were originally only open to women until around the 1960s/early 1970s.
The Seven Hills School is divided into two campuses: Hillsdale and Doherty.
Hillsdale is the main campus of the school. It includes the Upper School, the Middle School, and Lotspeich, one of Seven Hills' two elementary schools. It is also home to most of the athletic fields and gymnasiums as well as the school's main administrative office.
Doherty is another campus of the school. It is home to an elementary school of the same name.
At Doherty, grade 1 is also known as Unit 1, grades 2 and 3 are grouped together into Unit 2, and grades 4 and 5 are grouped into Unit 3. Grades in the same unit are grouped together for some classes, assemblies, and other purposes.
