About The John Thomas Dye School

The John Thomas Dye School is located in Los Angeles, California, on an 11-acre campus in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Since its founding in 1929, JTD has stayed true to the purpose of our founders, Cathryn and John Dye, to provide a nurturing environment “based on high ideals, integrity, and the quality of excellence.” JTD offers a values-centered education where we celebrate childhood and the lessons that can be found through joyful, purposeful learning. JTD students love coming to school because they are challenged and yet supported in all that they do.
