The John Thomas Dye School, nicknamed JTD, is an independent private coeducational nonsectarian elementary day school located in the Bel-Air area of Los Angeles, California, serving students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

History

The school "opened with ten students in 1929 at the corner of 26th Street and San Vicente Boulevard" [2] as the Brentwood Town and Country School by Cathryn Roberts Dye and her husband John Thomas Dye II with its first classes held in the Dyes' living room, and their son John Thomas Dye III its first student. The first permanent facility was built in 1949 and named the Bel Air Town and Country School, on the site still occupied by the school today. The school building was designed by noted Santa Monica architect John Byers. [3] In 1959, the School was renamed The John Thomas Dye School in honor of John Thomas Dye III, who, while serving as a B-17G navigator, was killed on 16 February 1945 by enemy action near Hall, Austria in World War II. [4]

"In 1960, the school was moved to its present campus at 11414 Chalon Road" [2]
