Dana Hall's campus is easily accessible by public transportation. The school is a five-minute walk from the Wellesley Square station, a stop on the Framingham/Worcester line of the MBTA commuter rail. This option is ideal for families traveling from both east and west of Wellesley.

MBTA SCHEDULE AND INFORMATION

We are located in Wellesley, but not all of our day students live in Wellesley. In fact, our day families come from more than 70 different zip codes in and around Boston. Dana Hall families have access to DanaConnect, our online information portal and home to many helpful resources, including Directories and our geo-filter and map tools. Families are encouraged to use these tools to find other Dana Hall families who live nearby. Once families identify others in their neighborhood, they often coordinate carpools.

MBTA SCHEDULE AND INFORMATION

Because Dana Hall is in close proximity to a major city, there are multiple taxi and rideshare services available in the area. To ensure student safety, Dana Hall taxi/rideshare policies and permissions are updated each year and included in the student handbook. 

All boarding families coordinate and confirm vacation plans for their daughters before major school vacations (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, and Spring Break). Student Affairs will arrange transportation service to Logan Airport or MBTA/South Station for major vacation travel, as requested.
