As an environmental leader, we always encourage the use of mass transit options.

Briar Bush is only a few minutes walk from SEPTA’s R2 Warminster Regional Rail line- exit at Roslyn Station, walk up the hill on Susquehanna Road, turn left on Edge Hill and Briar Bush will be on your left.

SEPTA Bus line 22 also stops at Roslyn Station (Easton and Susquehanna), follow the same directions.

Buses:

All school buses are able to drive down the driveway in order to drop off/pick up students. If necessary, one of our staff members will be happy to help guide you around corners. Please drive down to the front door - do not park at the top of the driveway. Buses may not stay parked in our driveway - they may park at Highland Elementary (Abington buses only), at the nearby Target, or somewhere else.
