Tilden School 4105 California Avenue Southwest, Seattle, WA 98116

"If you have the opportunity to send your child to Tilden, take it. Tilden is an absolute gift. My two children have both attended and have come away with a pure joy and love of learning. They have thrived in every way as a result of the safe environment, the nurturing and encouraging staff and the challenging, individualized curriculum. Tilden makes learning fun. The only thing you'll struggle with is how to find a middle and high school that are as excellent."

"Tilden is truly a gem of a school. It’s founder Whitney T and dedicated teachers have created a nurturing learning environment that emphasizes kindness and respect. We initially chose Tilden for its small class sizes and excellent reputation. We continue to be impressed with its creative curriculum, individualized attention and caring teachers. Our daughter has excelled academically, as well as gained self confidence and a love of learning - everything we had wanted in an elementary school."

"Our experience at Tilden has been only positive. From Whitney, to the teachers, to the aides, to the parent volunteers, everyone creates an environment in which teaching our children is the primary shared goal—not only academically, but to be kind and helpful members of a larger community. Our child has loved the school from the very first day, and it is in large part because Whitney and all the teachers make Tilden a place where she has a wonderful time learning and playing, and where she feels respected as an individual. We are so fortunate to have found Tilden School!"

"Tilden School has changed the trajectory of our daughter’s academic experience dramatically in a very short amount of time. Her growth in reading has been amazing but it is her growth in confidence that has been priceless. Whitney takes it upon herself personally to ensure that each child in the school truly has an individual education plan, catered exactly to their own development. All of the teachers are warm, kind, and committed to excellence. It feels amazing to know that our daughter is safe, learning, and appreciated."

"Tilden is a warm and caring environment- all the teachers are very friendly and helpful. Both of my kids have loved attending Tilden and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a wonderful school. The parent support is amazing and fun to be involved in. Wish I could give it 10 stars but can only give the five. Thank you Tilden for being such a warm and fun place for my kids to learn. We love each and every one of you!"
