About Hub Stops
With our growing number of school programs, LCPS has moved to a hub stop model in order to reduce the commute time for students and provide more reliable service.
School-Specific Updates
Academies of Loudoun
This information does not reflect any update on the Academies of Loudoun (ACL) application status for those who applied for the 2025-2026 school year.
Families of all 8th-grade through 11th-grade students received notice regarding a change to next year’s morning transportation schedule for ACL.
In the Fall of 2025 for the school year 2025-2026, students attending ACL programs will be picked up in the morning from designated hub stops within Loudoun County. ACL morning bus (hub) stops will be located at the elementary school where students are zoned. Parents will be responsible for transporting their ACL students from their homes to their designated hub stop.
There will be no change to the afternoon bus service, which will continue to return students to their home high school where they will utilize their regular transportation to get home. This continues the practice of ensuring students can participate in activities at their home high school.
In order to ensure shorter commute times and better service, buses serving ACL in the mornings will change to a hub-stop model. The hub-stop model is currently successfully used for other special programs (IB, HAMSci, ROTC, TJHS). LCPS has moved to a hub-stop model in order to reduce the commute time for students and provide more reliable service for special programs across the county where transportation is offered.
