All-Boys School in San Francisco Appoints Exceptional Head of Upper School
Town School for Boys
Located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, Town School for Boys is a K-8 independent day school. Since its founding in 1939, Town School has been committed to providing a dynamic and engaging environment that suits the developmental learning needs of boys. Town School values academic excellence, respect for self and others, diversity and inclusivity, community service, and social-emotional development. There is also an expectation of continuous growth and improvement for all faculty and robust support for a wide range of professional development opportunities.
Town School sought a head of upper school (HUS) to begin in summer of 2025. In addition to supervising all grades 5-8 faculty, the HUS oversees two student-facing deans that also have some teaching responsibilities. An ideal candidate for the HUS will be a steady but warm leader–someone who can foster a positive and collaborative environment, but not shy away from holding both students and faculty accountable to high expectations. The HUS should have experience fostering educational improvements through effective systems that are robust yet adaptable, and above all else be comfortable with a leadership model of highly-engaged and interconnected deans, administrators, and head of school. The HUS school reports directly to the head of school, and will begin July 1, 2025.
Town School for Boys was thrilled to welcome Eduardo Silva to the position.
