Bus Drivers Are an Extension of Our School

At CWA, we believe that transportation is an integral part of the learning experience. Our transportation team is not just a means of accessing the Charles Wright Academy; they are valued members of our school community. These highly-trained bus drivers are considered teachers on the road, playing a crucial role in greeting our Tarriers in the morning and ensuring their safe journey home.

Areas We Serve

Situated on a sprawling 107-acre campus in University Place near Chambers Bay, Charles Wright Academy attracts students from more than 70 different zip codes, fostering regional diversity. Our extensive transportation system primarily serves four major areas in the South Puget Sound region: Pierce County, south King County, Kitsap County, and Thurston County. For families living far from campus, our school’s family directory facilitates the coordination of rides to after-school activities.
