Seton Hall Prep provides busing to those students whose towns do not do so, or who are not
adequately served by public transportation. According to state law, towns which provide busing for their own public school students must also do so for its citizens who attend private school,
unless there are so few students from the town that no bus contractor will take the job. In that case, towns must provide reimbursement to such students for their transportation. The
amount reimbursed for 2008-2009 was $884 [a figure that has remained quite consistent, so use it as a guide.] Towns which do not provide busing for their own public school students are
not required to bus or reimburse private school students.Seton Hall Prep provides buses for our students who come from towns that do not bus.
Currently, the school runs eight to ten buses that begin their routes around 7:00 am and arrive at school at 8:15. Routes vary from year to year, but the same general areas are served.
These include: the North-West Essex area, the Bloomfield-Belleville-Nutley area, West Hudson, Union County, Clifton-Montclair, North-East Morris (Lincoln Park area) and Wayne.

New Jersey Transit train and bus routes are convenient for Seton Hall Prep students. The
Morristown-Gladstone railroad line serves the Prep, students getting off at Mountain Station. The school provides a shuttle bus from this station, departing at 8:20 am, for the cost of
$315 per year. In the afternoon the same shuttle returns students to Mountain Station. Three late afternoon shuttles to the station accommodate students involved in athletic or extracurricular activities. The New Jersey Transit #73 bus, running from Newark's Penn Station to Livingston Mall,
passes immediately in front of the school on Northfield Avenue. Other bus routes (#71 and #21) leave the students at Main Street and Northfield Avenue, with only a short walk to the campus. |
