OUR MISSION
The Town School is committed to elementary co-education, serving students in nursery through eighth grade. As we embrace high academic and ethical standards for each student, we are guided by our school motto, “let there be joy in learning.”
Town’s program balances the traditional and the innovative, emphasizing excellence in academics and a thorough exposure to the arts and physical education. We teach children to think creatively, read critically and reason logically, stressing the value of both individual learning and collaboration. We are committed to diversity, teaching students to be inclusive and to respect themselves and others.
Students leave Town as well-rounded, articulate, resilient and morally responsible individuals. They are prepared to meet the challenges of a demanding secondary education and continue on the path of lifelong learning.
Welcome to Town!
Town is a nurturing environment purposefully designed to guide children toward being their best—curious, challenged, insightful—selves.
We are committed to a personal, equitable, and transparent approach. This is a process of mutual discovery: We’ll be getting to know you and your child, as you familiarize yourself with our program and community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our admissions office at any time with questions about the application process or our school programs. If you’re curious about a particular program, aspect of the curriculum, or the like, we are happy to connect you with educators in our community.
For applicant families, our Important Dates & Events page has a timeline of dates and deadlines, as well as a list of in-person and virtual ways to get to know our community this fall. If you'd like to receive our monthly Admissions newsletters, complete an Inquiry Form any time.
I looking forward to getting to know you and your child!
Warmly,

The TOWN DIFFERENCE
Nursery - 8th Grade Co-Education
At Town, we're building the right foundation. We believe the best school environment for children is an integrated co-ed N-8 model.
Academics
At Town, we value academic excellence. Our curriculum is informed by faculty expertise and current research and grounded in academic excellence and joyful learning.
Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
At Town, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging are core values. We believe a diverse, inclusive, and equitable school community is critical for preparing students to participate in a complex, pluralistic, and interconnected society.
Community Action and Sustainability
At Town, everything we do and everything we don't do makes a difference. Students work on projects that meet real and specific needs of the communities they learn about in school; and we give our students the tools they need to ensure a sustainable future.
Community Partnerships
At Town, we value our community partnerships. Students not only learn from these partnerships, but also put their knowledge to use for the greater good, using Town’s ethical motto of “Self, Others, and Surroundings” to guide their work.
Long Range Plan
At Town, we're moving forward and planning for the future. Our Long Range Plan defines and significantly deepens Town’s commitment to excellence, grounded in our mission and values, all in service of our students.
