Transportation

The Evergreen School is committed to accessibility and environmental stewardship.

As a leader in environmental sustainability and with families from over 40 ZIP codes attending Evergreen, we strive to be a good neighbor by minimizing traffic on Meridian Avenue and in the surrounding neighborhood. We encourage carpooling and facilitate this by offering a directory to help match nearby families. Bicycling and walking are alternatives that work for some families. We also currently offer two bus options, available at additional cost.

Carpooling

Evergreen encourages carpooling! Carpooling helps families get to know each other and allows caregivers to cut down on trips to school. It also helps relieve the traffic congestion in the school vicinity and benefits our environment. Our internal directory for families supports sorting by proximity, allowing families to see who lives nearby.
