Bringing Town's mission to life.
The best teachers are passionate about their subject matter, their students, and their own professional growth.
Our teachers are highly skilled educators, serving as mentors and facilitators rather than lecturers. They are champions, challengers, connectors, and excellent role models, pushing students to think creatively and deeply and develop leadership. We are committed to the growth of our teachers, with a uniquely strong emphasis on continuing professional development.
Overall teacher to student ratio at Town is 6:1, augmented by our three Division Heads, Head of School, administrators, and staff who help ensure Town is a warm, welcoming, exciting place to learn and grow.

“I think the compassion the teachers have and really encouraging students to think critically, I liked it a lot. I remember specifically Ms. Koss’s sixth grade, my ‘Hero’s Journey’ project, and we learned all about how to craft this heroic journey . . . And then learning about the Abrahamic religions in sixth grade, and then Shakespeare in seventh grade, and then, oh man, reading ‘Lord of the Flies.’ I remember that was the first time I’d read a book that . . . I really I learned something that I could take away from the class that impacted the way I thought about the world. . . It was really this exhilaration of learning.”
