2008/09 NOW!! 20th Anniversary Year
We opened our doors with a Summer Art Camp of about 200
children. What a bang!! The first year started with a gem of four
beautiful children. We grew slowly, but surely in knowledge, kindness,
talent and love. By the fifth year we had grades PreK3 thru third, applied
for accreditation with the National Independent Private School Association and
adopted the nation-wide accepted Core Knowledge Curriculum.
Our acceptance to NIPSA was a milestone for us. We grew in confidence and
Tallahassee embraced us with interest. By the 96/97 school year our first
new building housing 4 classrooms, had been completed and we proudly started our
Middle School with 5th & 6th grades. What a memorable year!
Our first 8th grade class graduated during our 10th Anniversary year.
Great children, great memories!
Since then we finished our buildings, got accredited by AISF & SACS and opened a new location for our VPK4 program. In May 2008, our 10 8th grade students graduated and left us in tears, just like all graduating classes before.
With renewed energy we are marching on. This summer we acquired Atlantis Academy, as it was closing it's doors in Tallahassee. As our goal is to help each individual, our third campus will service the children with different learning styles and abilities. The new campus will operate under Betton Hills Preparatory School, Inc. as Seven Hills Academy. We embrace the new staff and students with grace and hoping they will have an exciting year.
Keep on growing with us! We are thankful to all parents who have trusted us with their children and hoping to further our services in Tallahassee.
