List of 4 items.

• New York District Busing

  Most New York towns and villages within a 15-mile radius of The Masters School that provide busing to public school students will provide busing to Masters students as well. However, it is advised that you contact your home school district’s transportation office regarding its specific policy on busing to independent schools. Please note: The deadline for requesting bus transportation through your home school district is April 1.

  
  

  All district school buses arrive at Masters by 8:00 a.m. in time for the start of the school day. Most buses return to Masters for each of two dismissal times: 3:45 p.m. for the Middle School, and 5:00 p.m. for the Upper School. The time your child will be picked up in the morning or dropped off in the afternoon is determined by each individual bus company in conjunction with your local district transportation office.

• Metro-North Train and Shuttle (Hudson Line)

  The Metro-North Hudson Line stops at the Dobbs Ferry Train Station, which is located five minutes from The Masters School. Many students from New York City and northern cities and towns use the train each day.
  
  The shuttle bus will meet the trains arriving at 7:33 a.m. and 8:06 a.m. from New York City and the 7:47 a.m. train arriving from Croton Harmon. In the afternoon, we have a shuttle bus that departs campus at 3:55 p.m., 5:00 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 5:50 p.m. to bring students back to the train. The fee for the use of the shuttle is $600 per year. If you would like further information, please contact Transportation Coordinator Ed Gormley at 914-479-6427 or ed.gormley@mastersny.org.
  
  Please Note: Students are able to obtain discounted rates for monthly commuter passes on Metro-North. 
  

• NYC/Westchester/CT

  The Masters School currently facilitates private transportation for students in Connecticut and Manhattan. We understand that many Masters families depend on private transportation and provided there is sufficient interest among families in Connecticut, Riverdale, and Manhattan, we will continue to facilitate bus routes in these areas.

  
  

  One bus will be used for round-trip transportation between The Masters School and Connecticut: This bus will travel along the Merritt Parkway, making stops at exits 37, 35, 34, 31 and 28. It is important to note that afternoon buses for this route will depart campus at 5:50 p.m. 
  
  One bus will pick up near 310 Theodore Fremd Road in Rye. This bus currently makes an additional stop at Mamaroneck Avenue and Bryant Street in White Plains. Two buses will be used to return students to those same stops in the evening. The first afternoon bus will depart Masters at 3:55 p.m.; the second will leave campus at 5:45 p.m.
  

  
  

  For families living on the west side in Manhattan, one morning bus will pick up students from designated pick-up locations starting at 62nd and Amsterdam Avenue, making stops along Broadway at 72nd, 86th, 96th and 103rd and West End Ave. Two buses will be used to return students to those same stops in the evening. The first afternoon bus will depart Masters at 3:55 p.m.; the second will leave at 5:45 p.m.
  
  For families living on the east side of Manhattan, one morning bus will pick up students from designated pick-up locations starting at First Avenue at 71st, with stops at First Avenue and 79th; and Madison Avenue and 85th. This bus makes one additional stop at Central Park West and 86th.

  
  

  We are unable to accommodate door-to-door service or additional stops. Parents will be responsible for transportation (and, in the case of middle school students, supervision) to and from the common pick-up and drop-off points. 

  
  For more details about the designated stops along this bus route, please contact Transportation Coordinator Ed Gormley at 914-479-6427 or ed.gormley@mastersny.org.
