WEST SEATTLE SCHOOLS: K-5 Tilden School open house on Saturday

It’s school-planning season, so many schools are offering open houses and tours. This Saturday, prospective elementary families are invited to tour independent Tilden School (4105 California SW; WSB sponsor) – here’s the announcement so you can plan ahead:

Tilden School will host its Fall Open House on Saturday, November 8, from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Families are invited to drop by anytime during the event to tour the campus, learn more about the school’s academic program and community, and meet faculty, administrators, current parents, and alumni.

Open Houses at Tilden provide families an opportunity to explore the school’s foundational academic principles and discover what makes this independent K–5 school unique!

Those unable to attend this weekend will have additional opportunities during Winter Open House sessions on Saturday, December 6, 2025, and Saturday, January 10, 2026, from 10:00 a.m.–noon.

There are select openings for grades 1-5! Applications are available online at tildenschool.org.

Tilden’s campus is on the north edge of The Junction, adjacent to but not affiliated with First Lutheran Church of West Seattle (WSB sponsor).

We also love Tilden! Our child is getting a great education and having a wonderful experience. It’s great for me, too… every morning drop-off at school is a highlight of my day: seeing the happy kiddos, the wonderful staff, the halls lined with artwork and creative writing, and knowing my child is about to have a great time… and we’ll hear all about it at dinner. Highly recommend!

Tilden has done great by us and our child. We love that it’s in and part of the Junction, which makes it both convenient to get to and really a part of the wider community–field trips down to Husky Deli to learn about commerce and then get ice cream? Yes, please!
