School Breaks

Going home
for break?

The days the dorms close for Thanksgiving, winter and spring breaks are the busiest of the year for Taft School pickups — every student needs a ride on the same morning. Book as soon as the flight is booked. A parent can make the booking and get the confirmation and driver details too.

Timing

When to leave Taft School
for Islip.

With short lines at ISP, a pickup at Taft School about 3 hr 45 min before take-off is normally enough.

Public Transport

Taft School to ISP
without a car.

There's no station in town — the nearest is Waterbury on the Waterbury Branch, so the train trip already starts with a drive. From Waterbury, ride the Waterbury Branch to Grand Central (changing at Bridgeport), then the LIRR toward Ronkonkoma (usually changing at Jamaica) and a shuttle to the terminal — a long day.

By car it's one ride from your door: 2 hr 8 min – 2 hr 30 min to ISP.
