Students travel to Ursuline each day from approximately 60 different cities and towns surrounding the Dedham campus, and as far as 40 minutes away. Transportation options include carpools, the town of Dedham bus (Dedham residents only), Ursuline bus options with other partner schools, and public transportation.
Each student’s transportation needs are different, and we seek to accommodate students by providing school-sponsored bus transportation from various cities and towns in conjunction with the neighboring boys’ schools. We are continuously working to improve existing bus routes and to look for alternate transportation arrangements for our families. Many of our families also make carpool arrangements and we assist those interested by publishing a student directory and sharing carpool lists with new incoming families.
Town of Dedham Bus Service
The Town of Dedham provides fee-based transportation to Dedham residents who live 1 - 1.5 miles or more from the Academy. Families may sign up through the Dedham school bus site here. If you need assistance, please contact transportation@ursulineacademy.net.
2022-2023 Bus Transportation
Based on demand, Ursuline Academy partners with other private schools each year to provide additional options for students coming to Ursuline from cities and towns in every direction. If you wish to utilize this bus service, you may contract for service on an annual basis. Please note that Ursuline Academy subsidizes the per-student cost of transportation to keep it affordable for families, as we strive to ensure this will not be an obstacle to enrollment. For the 2022-2023 school year, the cost to students is $1,600 per year for round trip service, and $1,350 per year for one-way service.
