  • What Sets Sage Hill Apart?

Students at Sage Hill come from 45 cities and more than 120 middle schools, public and private, and arrive with different interests. Some are here for athletics like our basketball or soccer programs. Some are here for the 30,000-square-foot Studio and its seven arts disciplines. Some are here because Service Learning and the Sage Hill Internship Program let them do real work before college. What they share is a school small enough that teachers know them and large enough to offer 80+ clubs and 22 sports. Here is what that looks like across the program.
