How to Get To and From Delbarton

Delbarton draws students from over 12 counties and 120 towns throughout New Jersey, which makes transportation an important topic for families interested in attending our school.  Delbarton offers a variety of options to make getting to and from our campus as convenient as possible.

Although some families still choose to provide their own transportation by driving their sons, arranging carpools, or using ride services when needed, many also rely on busing through their local school districts. The majority of school districts in New Jersey offer busing or reimburse families to offset the cost of private transportation to independent schools.

If transportation is not available through your local school district, Delbarton likely offers bus service to your residential area via our various routes that run in the morning and at 4:00 in the afternoon.  Routes and costs are determined by distance and number of students using the service. In addition to routes from residential areas, Delbarton also provides bus service (morning, 4pm, 6pm) from and to the Summit and Morristown train stations. To apply for these services, families should submit the Transportation Intent and B6T forms to Delbarton. Please note that these forms are re-submitted each year.

Finally, Delbarton also provides late busing at 6:00 to accommodate students who remain on campus for athletics or other school events. There is an annual fee for this service.

If you should have questions regarding Delbarton transportation options, please contact Transportation Director, Mr. Kent Manno, at kmanno@delbarton.org or 973-538-3231 x3372. It is our goal to make your commute to and from Delbarton as easy and convenient for you as possible.

pick up locations

Due to wide geographical spread of each bus route, there are a limited number of stops for pick-up and drop-off.  Parents are responsible for bringing their son(s) to and from these points. Bus route and stop locations change to varying degrees each year based upon the demographics of our student body.  In the past, bus service has been offered from Newark, Hunterdon County and Somerset County as well.

municipal (local school board) busing

Many of our students are bused to Delbarton by the public school district (morning and afternoon at 4:15 pm) in which they reside. Most local school boards provide either transportation or its monetary equivalent to private school students who reside between 2 and 20 miles from the school they attend. In rural counties, the distance limit is 30 miles.  The policy for transportation or reimbursement varies according to each school board's practices. Related information can be obtained by calling your municipal Board of Education.
