β€œIn any group of kids, the Tilden kids dramatically stand out. They are the kind and respectful thoughtful thinkers. They are confident and caring leaders. They are kind to the environment and the world around them. The quarters may be tight, but the closeness seems to play a big role in developing relationships with peers, teachers, and families. The focus at Tilden is the kids and it is truly evident when you consider a Tilden graduate. My child is now out in front at her public middle school, both academically and maturity-wise, thanks to the incredible nurturing the team. at Tilden!”
