Cambridge Schools & Transit
Learn, explore, and plan your connections.
Explore school resources and transportation options. Use official sources to check enrollment, service details, and the journey from a particular address.
Get around Cambridge
Harvard and Davis-area connections should not be treated as interchangeable for every Cambridge address. Harvard station has Red Line and bus connections, including routes toward Watertown and Belmont in MBTA records. Check the appropriate station or route for the address and current service.
Explore school options
Cambridge Public Schools uses Controlled Choice rather than guaranteeing the nearest school. Consult the Student Registration Center about grade-specific procedures, preferences, available places and waitlists; a neighborhood name or property address alone does not establish an assignment.
