You Can Get Here from There

Many families choose to drive their children or form carpools with other local families.

Numerous students utilize options such as NJ Transit trains, buses, and light rail to the Summit Train Station. At a cost, Oak Knoll provides a shuttle service to and from the Summit Train Station before and after school from 7:15 a.m. until 5:45 p.m.

Several towns offer school district transportation to Oak Knoll, including Chatham, Convent Station, Florham Park, Harding Township, Madison, Morristown, and Morris Township. Check with your local board of education if your town provides this service or offers aid in lieu of transportation.

Students from towns serviced by the Morristown, Peapack/Gladstone, Hoboken, and Dover lines can easily access the Summit station. The train travel times vary but provide a reliable option for many families.

Oak Knoll students may purchase a 25% discounted rail pass at an NJ TRANSIT rail station ticket office by completing the Official Application for Student Tickets and then bringing the completed sign to the Upper School Main Office to verify before turning the final paperwork back into NJ Transit. This discount is only available for monthly rail passes, not bus or light rail.
