Transportation

Carmel Catholic High School offers five bus routes, which operate daily and service our local communities. The round trip, year-long registration fee is $675.*

 

*Due to our hybrid education model, students will not require daily busing to campus to begin the 2020-21 school year. Accordingly, a percentage of the transportation fee will be refunded to families at the end of the first semester. In addition, should hybrid learning continue into the second semester, a similar refund procedure will be implemented.

Immediately after school, the Carmel shuttle bus will return students to Mundelein High School, where they will utilize the District 120 bus system to return home.*
