Tower Hill School is a small private preparatory school located at 2813 West 17th Street in Wilmington, Delaware offering instruction for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The school was founded in 1919, and was originally committed to progressive education methods. It has a strong academic reputation; particularly strong are the English and History departments, while those relating to science and technology tend to be less emphasized.

The boys lax and soccer, girls field hockey, track, tennis and lacrosse teams are considered strong, and often win state titles.

The school motto is Multa bene facta, "Many things done well".
