Alhumdu lillah, in 2007-08, we introduced the school bus program serving North Austin areas. Based on demand from families living in South and West Austin, we started a van service for those parts of the city in 2008-09.
Due to the overwhelming response to the current North Austin bus route in which >50 students rode the bus in the 2008-09 academic year, we are launching a second service for the North beginning this academic year. This route will serve cities and communities located to the East of Interstate 35, mostly, southern parts of Georgetown and all of Round Rock.

With the addition of this route, we now have a network of three routes serving Austin and surrounding cities: 

IMPORTANT NOTE: On Fridays only, the bus/van will arrive at the stops 45 minutes in
advance of the regular dropoff times.

Details of all three transportation services are as follows:

Program Cost

APA is offering a highly competitive rate for the students; it is indeed subsidizing the bus/van service, articularly taking into account the deep discount offered to siblings. This fee is very reasonable, onsidering the cost of gasoline, vehicle depreciation, and time spent driving to school, etc. Please note that payment for the bus/van must be made in advance and is non-refundable. Payment must be made at the school office as per the schedule for monthly tuition fees.

Given below is a summary of the bus/van fee structure.

One child: $100
Two children: $150
Three or more children: $175
