Welcome to Headlands Prep School!
Headlands Preparatory School – formerly known as Tilden Preparatory School Marin – is a WASC-accredited private high school and middle school (Grades 6-12). Our campus is located in Sausalito, California (Marin County/San Francisco Bay Area). Headlands Prep School first opened its doors in 2017 as a campus of Tilden Prep School – which was established in 2006. We have been celebrating student success ever since.
Headlands Prep Parent“The entire academic model is set up for the ever-changing landscape and both my children are thriving because of the connection they have already built due to the 1-1 model!!!!!”
Individualized Learning
Build confidence through learning – our one-on-one model allows each student to experience a unique approach to education that suits their individual learner profile.
Academic Mastery
As a college prep school, coursework centers around mastery learning in which students acquire, practice, and apply content and skills for deeper learning and engagement. We offer supplementary tutoring and test prep to support unique learning needs.


Personal Growth
We believe in inclusive education that grows the individual and the learner simultaneously as students find their path to success.
Community Engagement
Developing strong connections creates a bridge between the learner and the community in an increasingly globalized world.
Headlands Prep Parent“The administration at Headlands Prep (formerly Tilden Prep Marin) is incredibly student-focused and understands the different learning styles that make a learning community. Our daughter has felt supported, has grown academically, and has connected socially. We really couldn’t have asked for a better school experience!”
