Information for Prospective Families
Welcome to Tilden Prep!
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.
1 – 1 Individual Education
We offer part time, full time and summer classes for middle and high school students (grades 6 – 12), as well as private tutoring and test prep services.
Mastery Learning
WASC Accredited & UC approved, Tilden methodology prepares students for college and life by allowing them to fully master a subject at their pace.
Experts at Teaching Online
Our talented and qualified teachers have had great success teaching students online for years. Our proven individual approach is perfectly suited to online instruction.
“I love working with Tilden students because they range from A - Z in terms of types and backgrounds. They all experience success academically, and that turns them into confident and happy individuals.”Jan Russell, College Counselor
We know how to help students succeed
Our Co-Chairs each have 25 years of experience helping students reach their goals in all areas of life. Our teachers have a passion for the subjects they teach, are gifted in their ability to connect well with teens and are trained to teach students with a range of learning styles and capabilities.
Together, we help students build confidence in their abilities and themselves. Our Heads of School are happy to provide a free initial consultation to help determine your student's unique learning needs, and they continue to collaborate with the teachers to ensure each student's success.
Life at Tilden
Tilden Parent“My son is thriving at Tilden Preparatory School, which should be on your short list. Some kids simply need one-on-one instruction to learn, and Tilden has the process to successfully do this. Unlike some of the ASD-specific schools, Tilden has the academic curriculum both for the students who are struggling or are looking for something far more challenging than public schools.”
