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.

Upon request, families can be provided with the names of other students in their area who have expressed an interest in car pooling. The specific arrangements among families for carpooling are left to the families themselves. Please reach out to the Director of Divisions for more information.
