School bus

General information

Before selecting a House or a flat, please check the location of the nearest school bus service bus-stop with us in our office. Please note – not all villages or inhabitant areas in this square are served by the school bus service. There is no door to door service. The school bus service is open for any child who is at minimum 5 years old or who will be 5 years old the following month. 

During winter period

Adverse weather or road conditions may make it necessary, in the interests of the children's safety, to cancel the school bus service. The decision to cancel the school bus service will be made by the Director General or Deputy Director of SHAPE International School by 06:00 hrs on the concerned morning. This information will be broadcasted by AFN SHAPE (106,5 FM) commencing at 06:45 hrs. 

This information will then be repeated every 15 minutes up to 08:45 hrs. We also provide the information on our Customers help line.

Who can register ?

All newcomers and parents whose children are already living here, and whose children have never used the school bus, but want to use it during the school year. Parents with children already registered for this school year and whose children require the school bus service again during the next school year.

The School Bus service is paid by seven participating nations. If you are member of one of these nations, you do not have to pay for the bus program. For more information, please ask your support unit. If you child is enrolled at one of the U.S. sections, please note that the School Bus program is included in the US DODEA Tuition fee. All others are individual payers.
