Tilton School

Since the founding of Tilton School in 1845, we have pursued our mission: challenge students to embrace and navigate a world driven by diversity and change. So how do we do it? By fueling curiosity, igniting passions, and fostering a love for learning that allows teenagers to realize the power of their own potential. We believe that deep and meaningful relationships with teachers bring out students’ very best. As a school, we arm students with the skills to reason, to solve problems, to collaborate, and to invent the future. With an intentionally small community, our program is crafted to know, support, and challenge students as they learn to do hard things well and go beyond what they thought possible — in a way that is disctintly Tilton. Tilton is an independent boarding and day school for all genders, serving grades 9 through post-graduate. Centrally located in the heart of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, our program is designed to leverage the unique opportunities of boarding education to ensure that students are learning modern, relevant skills through every aspect of school life. Tilton’s 150-acre campus is home to 200-plus students from approximately 20 states and 15 foreign countries.
