Country Day School contracts a bus service which makes every effort to provide transportation to students requesting it. However, because we serve the greater San Jose area and the variety of locations in which families choose to live, students cannot be offered door-to-door service. While most students walk to and from bus stops, others must be driven to and from bus stops along one of the pre-established bus routes. The only door-to-door service is at 12:OO for the half day pre-school children.

Transportation fees are not included in other school fees and are payable in the business office.

CDS bus routes pass through the following communities: Alajuela, Cariari, Belen, Lindora, Valle del Sol, Ciudad Colon, Santa Ana, Carretera vieja a Santa Ana, Guachipelin, Villa Real, Escazu, Bello Horizonte, San Antonio, La Ladrillera, Sabana Sur, San Jose, Los Yoses, San Pedro, Curribabat, Sabana Norte, Rohrmoser.

Call Alvaro Zamora, CDS transportation coordinator to arrange service or to seek further information
