Welcome to Town School Admissions

Thank you for your interest in Town School for Boys! It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Town School website, and I hope that these pages help you learn more about our school as well as the process for applying to Town.

Located in San Francisco, Town School is an all boys' K-8 independent day school. Since its founding, Town School has been committed to providing the best possible education for boys and is recognized as one of California's leading independent elementary schools. At Town, our outstanding faculty and staff deliver an excellent academic program and cultivate a learning environment in which every student can thrive. Our Town values of respect, curiosity, integrity, belonging and joy permeate school life from the classrooms to the athletic fields and beyond. 

We are pleased to welcome you onto campus in a variety of ways this admissions season. We are a school community founded on close relationships, and we build human connections into the application process. The first step in learning more about Town is to fill out our inquiry form. After submitting the inquiry form and creating an account in Ravenna, you will then have the opportunity to sign up for a campus tour, attend other admissions events, and meet with me. You can learn more about applying to Town on our Admissions Process & Timeline page, and for information on tuition assistance, please visit Affording Town School. I also encourage you to browse our website, including the Welcome message from Head of School Lorri Hamilton Durbin, and take our self-guided virtual tour.

I came to Town through our New Teacher Institute in 2000. Upon completion of that two-year training program, I became a head kindergarten teacher for 13 years before moving into the Admissions Director role. It is a privilege to serve as an ambassador of Town with families who are considering the school for their sons.

On behalf of the entire Town School community, we look forward to meeting you!
