Tilden Preparatory School:
Tilden Preparatory School in Albany (10 miles from San Francisco) in Alameda County, is a private, accredited, college preparatory school for grades 6-12. Tilden uses a tutorial style to teach curriculum one-to-one and in small groups. One-to-one teaching provides a tremendous opportunity for students to work at their own pace (either faster or slower than usual), with attention to their style of learning, and to maximize opportunities for them to pursue their areas of interest in greater depth.
Tilden's campus is located at 1231 Solano Avenue in Albany, between Evelyn and Talbot Streets, and a half mile from the El Cerrito Plaza BART station. Albany is located on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, 10 miles from San Francisco. Albany borders the city of Berkeley to the south and east, and the Contra Costa County cities of El Cerrito and Richmond to the north.
