Transportation

Transporting students from 25 area towns

As a convenience to parents, Falmouth Academy makes bus transportation available to off-Cape, mid-Cape, South Coast, and Vineyard students.  The cost of transportation covers the full school year and is a charge incurred by the family. For this year’s fees associated with transportation, please visit the Tuition and Affordability page.  

Bus transportation aligns with the school program, leaving Falmouth Academy at 4:40 p.m. Monday through Thursday and at 2:45 p.m. on Friday.  These times enable students to participate in sports or partake in other after-school programs.

The routes are determined by the needs of the students and may be modified as needed.
