Students accepted into AVPA, GIS, and STEM academy programs that are not located at their home schools will be provided transportation via a hub system. Students attending academy programs at their home schools are able to ride their usual bus to and from school. As the AoF is now located at each high school, students admitted to the Academy of Finance will utilize their assigned high school bus route to and from this program.*
The hub system still requires parents to drive their children to and from a centrally-located bus stop. Hub buses do not pick students up from their homes or districted schools.
Please visit the School Bus Routes page of the SMCPS website for a full list of 2023 - 2024 hub stops. While there may be slight changes made between school years, this year's stops will give you an idea of what to expect. Hub stops for the 24-25 school year will be posted in August.
*Students admitted to the Academy of Finance prior to 2022 will continue in their program, as designed, at Chopticon High School. Academy transportation will continue for this specific set of students through graduation.
