Bus Service
Newton Country Day is pleased to offer direct bus transportation daily to and from Boston and the MetroWest areas.
After the first few weeks of school, students will be required to show the bus driver a special decal on their school ID to be allowed to ride the bus. Students must be up-to-date with their payment for the bus service to receive the required decal.
For each school year, the per-rider fee is $4,200 (round-trip route) or $2,200 (one-way route). Riders receiving tuition assistance may qualify for a discounted fee. Families may register for bus service using the form below. Please note: The non-refundable bus registration fee is for the entire school year. We cannot prorate transportation fees.
Please note that these routes and times are subject to change based on ridership commitments. For more information, please call the school at (617) 244-4246.
Delayed Start
If Newton Country Day has a delayed start due to weather, the buses will depart from each stop 15 minutes later than the regularly scheduled time. This allows students extra time to get to the bus.

Bus Registration for 2025-26 school year
Bus service is available on a school-year-long basis only. You may select either one-way (morning or afternoon, but not a combination of both) or round-trip travel; however, we require a full-year commitment. We arrange bus transportation as a service to our students and families, and the costs of transportation are borne by those using the service.
For the coming year, those costs are:
$4,200 round trip
$2,200 one-way
Please make your selection and pay the non-refundable fee.

MBTA Student Value CharlieCards, stored value cards that only charges the student fare each time it is used, are available through the school. Students will load the card themselves with funds at CharlieCard machines at MBTA stations. If during any month a student loads the card with $30, that card will allow the student to use the card for unlimited trips for that particular month. Therefore, if you would like your card to become an unlimited ride card for a particular month, do not load that card until the first day of that month. Contact Frances Dingivan at x4717 with questions.
