Tilton School vs. New Hampton School

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.

New Hampton School is a learning environment where happiness matters.

Our community celebrates students as individuals and independent thinkers, game-changers and global citizens, athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs.

Here, they feel wholly welcomed, creatively inspired, motivated by empathy, and empowered by choice.

Peers from 30 countries engage with, encourage, and honor one another.

With distinctive opportunities such as the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, Project Week, Apple Distinguished School resources, experiential learning, exceptional athletics, stunning geography, and a challenging, individualized curriculum, students and faculty connect in an inclusive and innovative educational experience.

At New Hampton School, a healthy, balanced and confident student body is at the heart of an excellent education.
