Transportation

Thetford Academy currently provides bus service or van transportation to and from many of our main sending areas in the Upper Valley.

In areas where bus or van transportation is not currently offered, there may be alternative free transportation options via TriValley Transit. TriValley currently has stops in Sharon, Strafford, and White River Junction, VT that align with the Thetford Academy school day schedule. For students from Hartland, VT, TA is working to reactivate our transportation contract for the 2023-2024 school year.

Each route has a centralized drop-off and pick-up location; see list below for those locations (subject to change). In the town of Thetford, bus service is coordinated with the Thetford Elementary School and runs on three separate routes.

To learn more about TA’s bus service and transportation options, please contact Dean of Students, Siobhan Lopez, or call our front office at 802-785-4805.
