Transportation Options

The Academy of Notre Dame is home to students from all over the Greater Philadelphia Region.

Our location on PA Route 320 is easily accessible from many major highways as well as SEPTA’s regional rail line (shuttle van service to and from the Bryn Mawr station is provided). Public school districts within a 10-mile radius will transport students to Notre Dame. Outside of that radius, private busing options are available for an additional fee.

Please contact the Office of Admissions (admissions@ndapa.org or 610.971.0498) to discuss transportation options from your area.
