Mars Hill is one of the best Classical schools in the north and is definitely one of the better Christian schools in Cincinnati. What sets Mars Hill apart from other schools in general is its total and complete approach to education. The 'Classical' approach involves memorization in the early grades, and develops children as they mature. Contrary to popular belief, Mars Hill Academy is not an elitist school for the genius, perfectly behaved student. The child will be gently eased into the system of discipline. This school is also not a 'playground for the rich'. Many families sacrifice much to send their kids to Mars Hill. This fact testifies to the overall excellence of education received here.
I have a son that attended Mars Hill Academy for Four Years. During the fourth year, they moved him forward to the 4th grade. All were in agreement. However, my son began to act out. At the school's request we took him to a doctor's and he was diagnosed with Aspergers. There were some who came aside and made an effort to assist. However, the overall response was tepid at best. If you are in the market for a great prep school and your child is maintenance free 'then this maybe the school for you'. However, if after three years of no problems and then the onset of technical difficulties' Christian charity goes by the wayside and do not mess with the product. Mars Hill Academy has established itself very well as a elitist school. Truth, Beauty, and Goodness?
Our daughter's attitude is now respectful and sweet and we can attribute that to the environment at the school. The education goes beyond academic excellence with creative and interesting teaching. We think it is well worth the cost for what our daughter will get from it.
Mars Hill Academy is the finest Christian school in Ohio. For those who are looking for a Biblical culture within the school setting, along with a tried and true approach to academic stewardship, I highly recommend investigating the possibility of attending MHA (marshill.edu).
