Transportation

With parental permission, students of legal driving age may drive to Wooster and park on campus. Special proximate parking areas are assigned to the seniors every year as recognition of their important responsibilities in the Self-Help system in the School.

Parents or guardians can use our Family Directory, accessible through onCampus or the Parent Portal, to locate families in their area. The specific arrangements among families for carpooling are left to the families themselves.
