Every Student Has the Capacity to Excel

Tilden Prep is a unique, WASC-accredited, college-preparatory school for grades 6-12 that teaches UC-approved courses one-to-one and in small groups. We also use mastery learning, teaching students to 80% (B) or higher level of mastery before moving forward. This allows us to individualize the pace and teaching method to address a wide range of learning needs. From highly gifted students who find a regular classroom setting too limiting to students with learning differences who need a specialized teaching approach to shine academically, we are working with students to maximize both their learning and their self-confidence.

Our Co-Chairs each have 25 years of experience helping students reach their goals in all areas of life. In addition, we hire teachers who have a passion for the subjects they teach, are gifted in their ability to connect well with teens and who are trained to teach students with a range of learning styles and capabilities. Together, we help students build confidence in their abilities and in general about themselves. Our Heads of School are happy to provide a free initial consultation to help sort out the variables related to your student’s learning needs prior to starting at Tilden, and they continue to collaborate with the teachers to ensure each student’s success.
