On April 24th, Regents had our ribbon cutting ceremony for the new upper school. Builder Marty Roberts has done a beautiful job refurbishing the right wing of the College Hill Community Center. The space will be perfect for our Upper School as we continue adding grades each year, with 10th Grade being added this Fall. It includes four large classrooms, a reception area, bathrooms and storage. We are very grateful for all the work done by the Regents Board of Directors and the College Hill Board in making this dream a reality. We also thank board member Steven Key and The Whirlpool Corporation for donations of furnishings.Birmingham, AL
The 5th grade enjoyed an overnight trip to Birmingham, Alabama. On the way, they stopped by the home of Helen Keller for a tour, then turned towards Birmingham to visit the American Village. The early days of Williamsburg, Virginia were brought to life in a first hand glimpse of settlers' lives: the stockades, a Constitutional debate, and colonial dancing to suit all! Go to the fifth grade photo album to view photos from the trip.
Prairie Day
The second grade enjoyed a day on the prairie at the MacKenzie's International Guest House. A return to the days of Laura Ingalls Wilder put the schema of things in a whole new perspective! Go to the second grade photo album to view photos from Prairie Day.
The Parthenon & Nashville
Welcome back 3rd grade!!!!
The third grade's study of Ancient Greece took them to Nashville's Parthenon for their first overnight field trip. Athena in her original proportions, columns larger than life, and recalling Paul's words to the Athenians from the Areopagus (Acts 17) all brought the days of old to life. Botany informed their visit to Nashville's Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and the Aquarium provided a feast for mouth and eyes! We are so thankful for your safe and fun adventure! Go to the third grade photo album to view photos from the trip.
Shiloh!
Following the life of a Confederate soldier, 6th grade spent the day in Shiloh, Tennessee supporting the southern forces. Following the 
route of the Union troops, they turned toward College Hill (where 30,000 originally encamped in preparation for Vicksburg). As Union soldiers, the 6th grade camped on the grounds of College Hill Presbyterian Church, used as a Union hospital during the Civil War. The following day they invaded homes for meals, explored the local territory, discovered original native-American grounds and ante-bellum homes, and topped off the day with a round of the Virginia Reel.

Our seventh, eighth and ninth graders ventured to our nation's capital April 2nd - 7th. Architecture equal to that of ancient Europe, exhibits transporting us back in time, and beauty to inspire us all made for a wonderful trip! The National Mall, the many monuments and memorials to our nations heros; museums of Natural History, American History, Air & Space, the Holocaust, and Spies; the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the National Art Gallery, the White House, the National Cherry Blossom Festival; transportation ranging from a cruise on the Potomac, AmTrak cross country (S to N) and the subway beneath, all left us wanting for more! God blessed us with a wonderful time. Thanks to all who made this time together possible! Be sure to check out the slide show by clicking on the photo to the right.
