  • Registration on June 28 is 11:00 am - 2 pm for students arriving by car.

Note: Housing and dining facilities are not available for students before Saturday, June 28 or after Friday, August 2. 

  • If you are unable to drive your child directly to campus, Summer Session provides a chaperoned bus service from Logan Airport to Cushing on Saturday, June 28, 2025. There is a $75 fee for this service. (If your child is traveling as an unaccompanied minor, there is a $200 Unaccompanied Minor Pick-up Fee. See "Unaccompanied Minor Information" below.) While completing the enrollment contract, you will have the option of reserving a place for your child on one of these charter buses.
  • Because of the number of students requiring transportation to campus, flights must be scheduled to arrive at Logan between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm on Saturday, June 28, 2025. 
    • Late Arrivals: Students scheduled to arrive at Logan International Airport after 6:00 pm on June 28 or July 16 must make arrangements in advance to stay overnight at the Hilton Boston Logan Hotel. A Cushing charter bus will leave from the Hilton Boston Logan Hotel at 8:30 am on Sunday, June 29, to transport students to campus.
       

DEPARTURE 

Travel should be arranged for students to depart from Cushing on Tuesday, July 15 (three-week Session 1), or Saturday, August 2 (five-week session or three-week Session 2). Any changes in return tickets are the responsibility of the parent, and all changes must be submitted in writing to the Summer Session Office no later than Friday, July 18, 2025. Cushing cannot take responsibility for students with a stand-by reservation. Every student should have a reservation for a confirmed seat on his or her return flight. 


If your child is departing from Boston’s Logan International Airport, Summer Session provides a chaperoned bus service from Cushing to Logan on Tuesday, July 15 (three-week Session 1), or Saturday, August 2 (five-week session or three-week Session 2). There is a $75 fee for this service. While completing the required Summer Session Enrollment Forms, you will have the option of reserving a place for your child on one of these charter buses.


UNACCOMPANIED MINOR INFORMATION 

If your child is unaccustomed to traveling alone or under age 16, you may wish to contact your airline to inquire about its “Unaccompanied Minor” services and policies. Each airline has its own policy. See information below. In most cases, upon request, unaccompanied minor services will be provided for a nominal service fee per connecting flight for minors between the ages of 11 and 16 who are traveling alone. Please contact your airline with any specific questions. We can arrange for a Cushing chaperone to check him/her in at the airline desk, then accompany your child to the gate area and remain with them as required, until the flight departs. Cushing’s fee for accompanying your minor child is $200.00 and must be paid in advance. Please use the Airport Transportation Form. 

If you are using the “Unaccompanied Minor” service, provide the airline with the pick-up name of “Cushing Academy Representative.” Our representative will be wearing a purple Cushing shirt and a photo ID.
