Getting Here

There are many ways to get to the School, which is located in the Gracie Point neighborhood near Carl Schurz Park.

A Variety of Transportation Options

New families receive information in late spring about their daughter’s transportation options, including student Metrocards or free yellow bus service for those who meet eligibility requirements. In addition, parents may choose to carpool or take advantage of private van service, which is available for many areas.

Public Transportation

For those taking public transportation, the 79th and 86th Street crosstown bus lines link Brearley to other bus and subway stops. Throughout the year, a parents’ safety patrol route in the late afternoon adds an extra measure of oversight for older students commuting on their own.

Winter Months

During winter months, the School provides a late afternoon “twilight bus" for students and faculty, free of charge, along 86th Street from East End Avenue to West End Avenue, with stops at major subway and bus transfer points along the way.

By Car

It is also simple to get here from the FDR Drive, with exits at 96th and 71st Streets (southbound) and at 61st and 96th Streets (northbound). There are several parking garages along 83rd Street, 82nd Street and East End Avenue.
