Headlands Preparatory School is an award winning, WASC-accredited, college preparatory school for grades 6 through 12 with a long history of helping students succeed through individualized learning. Headlands’ unique one-to-one and small group teaching model allows us to tailor instruction to each student, ensuring that students master the material and experience real success in their courses and increased confidence for future learning.

Founded on the principle that all students can grow as individuals and learners within a supportive environment, Headlands Preparatory School provides an individualized program aimed at empowering students to develop through learning and engagement. From highly gifted students who find a traditional classroom setting too limiting, to students with learning differences who need a specialized teaching approach to shine academically, Headlands Prep meets students where they are to maximize both their learning and their self-confidence. Headlands Prep first opened as a branch of Tilden Preparatory School, advocating the same philosophy, curriculum, and teaching methodologies as its parent institution. Headlands Prep quickly established itself as a thriving campus in the Marin community, offering a quality program responsive to the needs of its students.
