Welcome to the Upper School at Town, where learning is prize, love of school is essential and boyhood is celebrated. For us, that means that on the third day of school all students choose Homeroom Presidents and Vice-Presidents to serve as their representatives on the Student Council. Dodgeball games, Free Dress days, and the Student Fair are all Council sponsored events that express the joy of a boys' school. By the third week of September 8th graders head off on a week long adventure to Yosemite, the culmination of an outdoor education program that begins in 5th grade. In October, the 5th graders receive their own laptops as part of our pioneering Laptop Learning Program. 7th graders are working on our food drives as part of their community service, while 6th graders maintain our weekly recycling program. In February, the Student Council will be busily preparing for the Student Fair, which last year raised $5000 for the Fisher House Foundation. By April, the 6th graders will have had the opportunity to play for a Town interscholastic sports team during the fall, winter, and spring. At Town, there is a team for all 6th through 8th grade boys who would like to participate in athletics. In May we celebrate our creativity at the Festival of Arts, where art work fills the walls and hangs from the ceiling. Throughout the year boys perform in handbell choirs, Orff ensembles, dramatic presentations, music composition shocases. And finally, we say goodbye to our 8th graders in June as new 6th and 7th graders take over as Student Council Vice-President and President.

At Town School learning is prized, love of school is essential, and boyhood is celebrated.

In the Upper School, we foster open and active partnerships between teachers and parents - both with respect to individual student growth as well as with community activities such as the Student Fair and community service programs. Our faculty, through continuous professional development and collaboration, strives to create a supportive and caring network in which to challenge our boys.

Faculty members serve as guides for our students during class, in small discussion groups, or on the field. Their dedication and caring to the well-being of each boy - the whole boy - help us create a community where learning is prized, love of school is essential, and boyhood is celebrated.
