Getting here from Wellington Station
Wellington is minutes away: Fellsway or Middlesex Avenue north into Medford, then east on Salem Street — usually under ten minutes, which makes it an easy park-and-hand-off for a parent continuing into Boston.
From Wellington on the Orange Line, the 100 and 110 connect toward Medford Square and Malden Center, where the 101 runs the Salem Street corridor to the school. Allow about twenty-five to thirty minutes with the transfer and leave Wellington by 7:25.
These estimates come from published MBTA schedules rather than a school guarantee. Call the office and we will help you plan the drop-off from Wellington.

How the school works
Your child is tested in each subject and placed where they actually are — not where their birthday says they should be. They set their own daily goals, work at their own desk, and can't move forward until they've mastered the material at 80% or better. A student who is ahead in math isn't held back. A student who needs another two weeks on fractions gets another two weeks. Nobody gets left behind and nobody gets bored.
