The train station "Cents-Hamm" is also near the school along with several other bus stops within a 5- to 10-minute walk.

If using the Kiss and Fly, please have your children ready to exit the vehicle with bags, coats and masks ready. The driver must remain in the vehicle at all times. If your child is unable to exit the car independently, please park off site and walk to the school gate. Never park or leave your car unattended in the Kiss and Fly lane.
