Transportation
More than half of the students attending JCHS live outside of San Francisco. We are committed to making our students’ commutes to JCHS easy and efficient.
CARPOOL
We encourage families to consider coordinating carpools with other families in their region. The JCHS portal offers families an easy way to visualize who lives nearby and provides contact information. Secure parking in our parking garage is available to student drivers in the 11th and 12th grades at no cost.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
We are centrally located near a number of MUNI lines including 5, 22, 24, 31, 38, and 38R. Discounted BART and MUNI passes may be purchased online. Our students often form commute groups, which provides them with a way to develop supportive relationships with one another across grades.
EAST BAY
Transportation options to and from the East Bay vary from year to year depending on interest and need.
MARIN
JCHS contracts with a private charter company to provide convenient round-trip bus service to students living in Marin County. The bus operates daily with one morning and two-afternoon schedules.
CALTRAIN
Transportation options for students living in the South Peninsula vary from year to year depending on interest and need.
