Transportation
How will your child get to and from campus?
While bus coverage varies from township to township, most municipalities in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties provide a busing option for eligible private school students.
Types of Bus Coverage
In accordance with New Jersey state laws for non-public school students, transportation to and from Bishop Eustace Prep may be covered by your local school district’s Board of Education. And for many who are not eligible, aid in lieu may be available.
Depending on where you live, your district will fall into one of three transportation categories:
List of 3 items.
-
Bus Pickup Near Your Home
Students eligible for busing will receive a bus pass from their local district in August. While the state maximum distance for bus pickup is 2.5 miles from your home, the typical pickup location is less than 1 mile. -
Monetary Aid in Lieu of Transportation
Students ineligible for busing may be eligible for financial aid paid by your local district. This year, aid-in-lieu is approximately $1,100, paid across two installments. -
No Busing or Aid in Lieu of Transportation
If you live in a “walking” district, you may not be eligible for busing or an aid-in-lieu payment. Most parents in these districts arrange carpools, or choose to use public transportation.
Bishop Eustace Prep typically provides a busing option for athletic and other after-school activities (including service and field trips trips).
Details from your District
Because Bishop Eustace Preparatory School does not manage the bus program for which your child may be applying, we cannot answer questions specific to your municipality or eligibility.
We encourage all families to speak directly with their municipality’s Board of Education for information on bus routes, eligibility requirements, and policies on inclement weather.
Weather Policy
In the case of inclement weather, students should follow their sending district’s schedule. For example, if Bishop Eustace has a delayed opening, but a student’s sending school district does not, that student should still report to their bus stop at the regularly scheduled time.
