Town School for Boys, located in the Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California, is an independent school for boys in the kindergarten through the eighth grade. The school was established in 1939 by parents from the recently closed privately owned Damon School, and in 1938–39 was known as the Tamalpais Junior School. Town School for Boys is considered an elite institution for boys' education in San Francisco. W. Brewster Ely IV, the current headmaster, is well respected nationally. The enrollment of approximately 400 boys is divided into 18 classes, two in each grade. While renovations took place in the 2013–14 school year, the school temporarily leased the space in the Palace of Fine Arts vacated by the Exploratorium.〔Sally Kuchar, ("The Town School for Boys Will Temporarily Takes Over Old Exploratorium Space" ), ''Curbed'' SF, February 22, 2013.〕〔Neal Riley, ("Lease agreement for temporary Palace of Fine Arts tenant approved" ), City Insider blog, ''San Francisco Examiner'', February 21, 2013.〕 Notable alumni include Nick Traina, John Heinz, Ethan Canin, Mark Pirie, Deke Sharon, Alex Gansa, Ulrich Schmid-Maybach, Adam Stephens and Tyson Vogel (members of indie band Two Gallants.)
