Tilden has been an amazing place for me to learn and grow, not only as a student but as a person too. It has allowed me to feel at peace with myself and my teachers/the staff because I know that I won't be punished every other second. It has also given me the ability to channel my excess energy and negative feelings into performing academically well in school. All of these different aspects have led me to truly believe that Tilden is not only the best school for me right now, but also the best one I've ever attended.

My child was struggling with learning issues as well as social/emotional challenges in a regular public middle school. Tilden Prep's small size and one-to-one teaching model was a game changer for her. She has found friends, is doing well in her classes and has a positive attitude about school now....

I worked at Tilden Prep for three years and I saw hard working teachers all around be undone by the administration. Teachers are given inadequate prep time to teach a wide variety of subjects, which have little to no curriculum planned. Students have no requirement to complete homework, and teachers...
