Affording Town School

Town School for Boys is committed to creating a school community that reflects the diversity of the San Francisco Bay Area, including economic diversity, understanding that many perspectives enhance the educational experience and the culture of the school for all members.

Through our Financial Assistance Program, we endeavor to help families from a range of financial means access a Town School education. Given the high cost of living in the Bay Area, we encourage families considering assistance to apply; families of varying financial means qualify for a range of financial assistance grants. Applying for Financial Assistance is confidential and will not affect your application to Town School.

The tuition for the 2024-25 school year is $46,935. Town works hard so that our tuition is as “all-inclusive” as possible to provide equal access to all of our students and families.
