The Seven Hills School is a group of private schools in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The Seven Hills School was formed as a combination of three Cincinnati institutions — the College Preparatory School, the Hillsdale School and the Lotspeich School which merged in 1974. It consists of Doherty (PreK-5) and Lotspeich (PreK-5), both named after the schools' respective founders; 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 and they have earned a reputation as the best school in the city. (Cincinnati Magazine, August 2007)

The Doherty Campus is located a few miles away from the Hillsdale Campus (which consists of Lotspeich, the Middle School, and the Upper School.). These schools are known as the Hillsdale Campus. Doherty was founded by Miss Doherty. It was called the College Preparatory School for a long time.

Until 1970, Doherty was a separate school known as the College Preparatory School, while 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. [1]

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.

Choosing from a diversity of classes, Seven Hills now boasts the only four year acting program in the whole city of Cincinnati.

At the Doherty school, instead of regular grades, each "grade" is divided specailly. "Grades" 2-5 are divided into units (1st grade is considered Unit One, but it is just 1st grade). Grades 2 and 3 are Unit 2 and grades 4 and 5 are considered Unit 3.

The Upper School is well known for being one of the top private schools in Cincinnati.

Some of the sports teams include tennis, golf, gymnastics, soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, track, cross country, swimming and volleyball.
