Transportation

 

Transportation for day students is typically provided by local New York school districts, subject to district approval. If your district is not listed below, we suggest reaching out to your school district's transportation coordinator to learn about the busing policy for The Harvey School.

Towns and villages in New York within a 15-mile driving distance of The Harvey School that provide busing services to public school students in New York must also offer busing to Harvey. Requests for district transportation should be submitted to the school district by April 1 for the upcoming school year.

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

All school district buses arrive on time for the start of the school day, between 7:45 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. The buses also return to Harvey at 5:00 p.m. for dismissal. 

For students residing in Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, Fairfield, New Canaan, Ridgefield, and Wilton in Connecticut, as well as Lower Westchester county towns, including Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Rye, and Pelham, a third-party bus service is available to and from campus daily. Please note that the availability of this service in the towns mentioned above depends on the number of families that contract with the bus company.

To register for the bus service, interested families must complete the registration form before June 30.  For the latest yearly registration fee and all additional questions, please contact John DePalma at jdepalma@harveyschool.org or call 914-232-3161, ext. 158.

Students residing in New York school districts in Westchester, Bronx, and Manhattan, which do not offer school bus transportation can opt for a train commute to Harvey. The Metro-North Harlem Line provides a reduced student fare and stops at Katonah from Grand Central Station. 

To facilitate this, The Harvey School offers a shuttle service, utilizing Chappaqua Transportation, between the Katonah Train Station and the campus. Typically, students arrive on campus by 7:50 a.m. after taking the 7:31 a.m. train to Katonah. In the afternoon, the shuttle departs Harvey at 5:00 p.m., allowing students to catch the 5:20 p.m. train home.

Carpooling is also an option that provides flexibility when managing after-school activities and sporting events. To participate in the carpool, please complete the Carpool Interest Form available in July. You will be able to view the list of other families who have signed up as well. For any questions or further details, please email transportation@harveyschool.org.

For students of legal driving age, driving to campus is allowed with parental permission. Student drivers must park in the designated parking area and follow additional school requirements mentioned in The Harvey School Handbook.
