And if you're thinking south, then seven hills or broadview heights/brecksville area (30-45 mins in rush hour). In my personal opinion (and I'm sure people will have different opinions from my own), i think the east side is more diverse, more 'character', more interesting neighborhoods, but higher standard of living. The Seven Hills School has roots reaching back to 1906, with the founding of the College Preparatory School by Mary Harlan Doherty.

Visiting Storyteller Urges, “Learn Your Migration Story”

Renowned local storyteller Omope Daboiku shared her rich family history with Middle and Upper school students in small and large groups in mid-February. Her stories, which centered around her nine-generation family migration across and throughout the United States, included threads of lessons in geography, multiculturalism, history, linguistics, and anthropology. “Learn your family migration story. It will help you understand who you are and who we are as a nation.” Upper School history teacher Amaris White said she invited Daboiku to speak to the Seven Hills community in order to give students an opportunity to view their historical academic knowledge through the lens of an academic speaker who is also a storyteller and expert on the varied experiences of African-Americans in the Midwest. Thank you to Seven Hills’ Upper School student-run African-American Awareness Club, and White, for inviting Daboiku, a curriculum designer and former Cincinnati State instructor. Daboiku’s visit was part of Seven Hills’ African-American Awareness Club’s observance of Black History Month.

History Class Learns About Foreign Policy Diplomacy

Doug Huff’s seventh-grade history class has been learning about foreign policy diplomacy and the Monroe Doctrine, a policy enacted in 1823 that outlined the United States’ opposition to European colonialism in the Americas. Students created a map of the world to see which smaller countries were controlled by the colonizing Spain, United States, Latin American, Russian, and Great Britain governments. Students then worked in groups to draw the flag of their colonizing nation and present a situation report to their classmates. Huff said the report “allowed each country to speak and say what happened.” The class also simulated communication by telegram and developed alliances between the colonizers.

Middle Schoolers Fall in Love with Books

Every year around Valentine’s Day, Emily Stettler’s sixth-grade English class discovers new books in a fun way. Middle and Upper School librarian Megan Whitt and associate librarian Gail Bloom host Speed Dating with Books. The event allows students to get acquainted with nonfiction books, taking a total of 15 minutes to take a quick look at anywhere from 80 to 100 books. Students have the opportunity to find their true love and eventually “check out” their dates. After choosing a book, sixth-graders will craft a creative presentation based on their nonfiction choice. Students have stretched their imaginations in the past to present cake decorating demos, origami lessons, and more. Overall, the event is a fun way to meet new books.

Eighth-graders Study “Lord of the Flies”

Laura Clemens’ eighth-grade English students recently took a deep dive into the classic novel “Lord of the Flies.” After reading the book, students were asked to complete a project using their skills and unique talents to illustrate their knowledge of the content and meaning behind the literary classic. Clemens said the projects were completely driven by student choice. “There was a wide range of student responses to the book,” she said. “I told students, ‘take your talents and use that as your medium for showing your understanding.’” Some students designed board games, painted scenes from the novel, created an escape room experience, and wrote short stories.

Eighth-graders Complete Study of Parisian Monuments

Jacky Kalubi’s eighth-grade French class recently studied the many iconic monuments of Paris, France. To complete their study, students watched the film “Midnight in Paris,” which is set in modern-day, 1920s, and 1890s Paris. Students watched the film and identified monuments and historical information they learned during their studies. “The movie is for them to recognize places, the artists, and writers associated with the eras,” Kalubi said. “Now they’re looking at the lessons in a different way.”
