[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since it appears that GDS does not have any bus transportation, are there any carpools or other ways that parents organize getting their kids to the high school?  Does the school help at all with connecting potential students to others nearby or are you on you own?[/quote]

Many GDS students take public transportation to school.  They care about reducing their carbon footprint.  GDS was the first private school to plan a smart growth, transit-accessible mixed-use project in the Disteict.  It is ingrained in GDS’s history to be part of DC’s urban context.  Public transportation is an important part of the urban context.[/quote]
To clarify, I think you're talking about GDS HS. The current LS/MS location isn't very accessible by public transportation, though this will change once the move occurs in 2 years.

To your point though, the recent ANC approval for GDS commits them to a more onerous carpooling requirement than what's existed in the past. Hopefully SFS will follow that when they do their expansion/relocation. Most of the local independents could do a much better job of reducing their commuting-related carbon footprints.[/quote]
