Transportation

The HB, Laurel, and University School bus stops are centrally-located, and may be adjusted from year-to-year based on usage and demand. 

Families will pay in advance by semester for the route transportation they require, and it will be added to their student billing account. Use of transportation can be segmented by mornings and/or afternoons and by one-half of the school year (August- December and January - May) with the following costs per student:  

Half Year - Morning or afternoon: $750.00
Half Year - Morning and afternoon: $1,500.00
Full Year - Morning or afternoon: $1,500.00
Full Year  - Morning and afternoon: $3,000.00 

Hathaway Brown, Laurel, and University School’s Upper School campus are hubs for the intercampus shuttles. Students can be dropped off or picked up at any of the three hubs to catch a bus to any of the other campuses, including University School’s Lower and Middle School campus. 

For families with students at multiple campuses, intercampus shuttle service can help simplify logistics. 

• In the morning, HB students can catch an intercampus shuttle from Laurel or University School’s Upper School campus. 

• In the afternoon, HB students can catch an intercampus shuttle to Laurel or University School’s Upper School campus. 

• In the afternoon, students from Laurel and University School (both campuses) can catch an intercampus shuttle to HB. 

There is no fee for the intercampus shuttle service, but registration is required and seats may be limited. Priority is given to students who utilize a route bus to commute to school. 

Most students will need to change buses at one of the hub campuses. Hathaway Brown, Laurel, and University School’s Upper School campus are each hubs for three routes. 

HB is the hub for the west side routes, so students on those routes would not need to change buses. Students coming to HB on other routes will depart the bus at Laurel or University School’s Upper School campus and board the bus that will take them to HB. All buses have signage indicating their destination and staff at each campus will assist students. 

Buses run when any of the three schools are in session. Buses will run on their regular schedule daily and will not accommodate special schedules (late start, exams, etc.) If a school or campus has a special schedule, families from that school are required to make alternate arrangements on those days. 

If the public school cannot provide the transportation needed and is within a half hour travel time from HB School, you may be entitled to payment in lieu of transportation from the public school.

SREP transportation is offered after school to Case Western Reserve/University Hospital, Cleveland Clinic’s Crile Building, and Cleveland State University (corner of 24th Street and Euclid). If your child is enrolled in SREP and needs to utilize HB's transportation service, contact the SREP director.
