being a day student

Our day and residential programs are fully integrated and day students have many opportunities to share in the residential experience. While day student buses depart at 4:30pm, you may choose to stay as late as 9:30pm each day. You also have the opportunity to sleep over up to three nights each week, and you can join residential students on any of our evening and weekend trips. (Staying past 4:30pm or overnight involves an additional charge to cover the cost of meals and/or lodging.)


day student transportation

bus transportation
Most day students travel to Wellesley College on one of our nine school bus routes, which operate Monday-Friday. Our buses service many towns within 15-20 miles of Wellesley College. A complete bus schedule is mailed to each day student family with the enrollment confirmation. Families choose the stop most convenient to their home or workplace from any of the bus routes, keeping in mind that students are dropped off in the afternoon at the same place they are picked up in the morning. Cost is $125 per session. To receive a copy of the schedule before you sign up, fax your request to the Transportation Manager at 978.568.1410, or call our Norwood office 781.762.7400.

car
Students may be dropped off and picked up by a parent or guardian.

bicycle + on foot
Bicycle racks are provided. Please bring a heavy duty lock and helmet. Students are not permitted to bike home after dark. Parents/Gaurdians will need to provide written permission for any student who walks or cycles to the Program.


your day group

As a day student, you will be placed in a day group with approximately 14 other students. Your Day Advisors will check in with you every morning at 8:30am, keep you up to date with all of the day’s activities and events, and meet with you again at 1:15pm and 4:00pm. In addition, your Advisor will be available throughout the day to answer questions and help you get the most out of your Exploration experience.
