Student transportation to and from school is generally by car or school bus. Students are either driven to school or they ride buses provided by their local school districts. Public school districts in Pennsylvania provide busing for every resident child who attends a non-public school within ten miles of their home school district’s boundary. There is no out-of-pocket cost to parents for this service; the cost is covered by resident taxes. Busing is available to first to sixth grade students for Philadelphia residents and for kindergarten through sixth students in most other districts (Jenkintown does not bus any students).
When students arrive at Plymouth Meeting Friends School by bus, they are greeted by a faculty member. School begins at 8am for kindergarten through sixth grade and 8:15am for pre-kindergartners.
Plymouth Meeting Friends School is also accessible by public transportation. SEPTA's L bus travels from Mount Airy, Wyndmoor, Chestnut Hill, and other points west of the school and stops at the intersection of Germantown Pike and Butler Pike.
