TRANSPORTATION

Public transportation is the most effective method of transporting students between their homes and the Academy. Using the orange line, Readville commuter rail and public buses provides an efficient and safe means of transportation. At the beginning of each month, we will provide monthly T passes for students who live more than two miles from the Academy. Please be advised that we cannot replace lost passes. We will also use the services of a crossing guard who will guide students across Neponset Valley Parkway before and after school.
