Tilton School

"Incoming students will for sure experience a progressive environment both in the classroom and on campus. Tilton lives up to their credo of the "Power of Potential" on the condition that the members of the community give back. Those who invest their energies into the system will succeed beyond graduation. By contrast, those who passively run through the motions may struggle. Within arm's reach Tilton offered me mentors, exceptional cultural outings, and above all critical thinking opportunities during those three years at this school. Had I spurned those gifts, I speculate that my career would have been a disappointment."

"My daughter had an injury that occurs her freshman year essentially ending her basketball career. So as a senior now it is time to reconstruct the ligaments that were damaged. Due to not playing basketball anymore, as a junior we decided to switch her status from boarding to day student. Our tuition did not change which was unfortunate but accepted. With recovery taking 6 weeks in a cast and hence not being able to drive and my schedule not allowing me to transport her back and forth (leave for work at 5 am and call 3 nights a week) we asked the school to accommodate her staying on campus for that time. Since I was still paying boarding price I really did not think it would warrant the response I received. Many options were given but the one that was foremost in my brain was that we pay an additional $2000 to cover her boarding costs. Day students are allowed to eat all three meals there and to shower etc. so what exactly would this extra $2000 cover I cannot wrap my brain around."

"Best school really care about there students and staff"

"I like it and all but some of the teachers really just mine is really mean besides that I love it!!!"

"I loved tilton. I went to another ISL school before, and it was much more strict, trying to weed out the struggling students. Tilton is much more relaxed. They will help the students when they need, and they wont go looking around trying to get the kids in trouble; the kids do that themselves. Great school for athletics, and is quickly becoming a great school for arts. Great place, great teachers...a little cold tho."
