Transportation

Transportation for day students is often provided by local school districts. If your district is not listed below, we recommend contacting your school district’s transportation coordinator to find out what the policy is on busing to private or independent schools.

Towns and villages within a 15-mile driving distance of The Harvey School that regularly provide busing to public school students are required to also provide busing to Harvey.

The following school districts provide bus transportation to The Harvey School:

• Bedford Central School District
• Brewster Central School District
• Briarcliff Manor School District
• Byram Hills Central School District
• Carmel Central School District
• Chappaqua Central School District
• Croton-Harmon Union Free School District
• Hendrick Hudson School District
• Katonah-Lewisboro School District
• Lakeland Central School District
• Mahopac Central School District
• North Salem Central School District
• Ossining Union Free School District
• Pleasantville Union Free School District
• Somers Central School District
• Yorktown Central School District

Students who live in the Bronx and Yonkers take the train. Please see “Commuting by Train” below for more information.

All school district buses arrive at Harvey in time for the start of the school day, between 7:40 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Buses return to Harvey in time for dismissal at 4:45 p.m.

Note: Dismissal times are subject to change due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Students, such as those living in the Bronx and Yonkers, may also commute to Harvey by train. The Metro-North Harlem Line stops at Katonah from Grand Central Station and offers a reduced student fare.

The Harvey School utilizes Chappaqua Transportation to offer students a convenient shuttle service to and from the Katonah Train Station.

Students typically arrive in the morning on the 7:33 a.m. train into Katonah and arrive on campus by 7:55 a.m. In the afternoon, the shuttle departs Harvey at 5:00 p.m. in time for students to catch the 5:22 p.m. train home.

Note: Dismissal times are subject to change due to COVID-19 pandemic.

The number of train riders has decreased as a result of COVID-19. Train schedules are currently limited.

Some families share the commuting costs by choosing to carpool or join together to charter a private car service. When the need arises, we can help you connect with other families living near your area to facilitate carpools or to arrange private busing to transport a group of students.
