SSFS Buses

Transportation

For the convenience of our families, SSFS offers optional bus transportation between our campus and various group stops throughout Montgomery, Howard, and Prince George’s counties and Northwest DC. Please note that the routes are determined by student needs each year and are subject to change. For the safety of our youngest learners, bus transportation is only available for students in Kindergarten through 12th Grade.

Buses are scheduled to arrive at SSFS at or before 7:45 a.m. Depending on the route, the first morning pick-up occurs between 6:45 and 7:30 a.m.  

In addition, the School offers the 5:45 Shuttle, a free, daily bus service to two metro stations for middle and upper school students participating in athletics and other after-school activities. This bus departs from the Middle School circle (on campus) at 5:45 PM to take students to the Glenmont and Shady Grove metro stations.
