School bus service

School transportation

Bus transportation to and from school is available to students from Moyenne Section (MS) of Maternelle. Students are welcomed by staff when they arrive at school, and are escorted to their buses at the end of the day.

For several years now, we’ve been working closely with Roxborough, a company with over 60 years’ experience in the school bus industry, which became Switzer CARTY Transportation in the summer of 2024. We invite you to visit their website to find out more about Switzer CARTY Transportation, specialists in school bus and charter services in Ottawa: Switzer CARTY Transportation

Important informations:
– Bus transportation to and from school is available to students from Moyenne Section (MS) of Maternelle. Students are welcomed by staff when they arrive at school and are escorted to their buses at the end of the day.
– On certain days of the week, collège students may finish at 4:30 p.m. and will therefore not be able to use the school transport service on that day (we advise you to wait until you receive your timetable at the end of August before booking).
– It is possible to book a one-way trip.
