At Tabor, our waterfront location isn’t just for show; it’s a living classroom that brings history, culture, and future-thinking together.

We’re not just about book smarts—we’re about real-world, hands-on experience, both in and out of the classroom.

Dive into our unique School by the Sea offerings. Tabor isn’t just a school; it’s your second home, where you’ll navigate the waters of education, achieving more than you ever thought possible.

Founded in 1845, Tilton School is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory school serving students from 9th to 12th grade and postgraduates.

We have 220 students consisting of day and boarding from 19 states and 16 countries.

With a small student body and dedicated staff, we are focused on helping every student realize the power of his or her own potential.

We believe that students who are able to effectively communicate, collaborate, think critically and creatively, and engage with mindfulness and compassion are better prepared to thrive in an ever-changing world. To do this, Tilton School provides students with a uniquely customized learning process that uses authentic assessments of skills, interests, and learning style preferences to help them create their own Personalized Guided Program of Study for their journey at Tilton.
