From the west & Rte 128:
Take Route 128 to the Trapelo Road exit (exit 28). Head east towards
Belmont. Follow for around 3 miles or so. The school will be on your
right.
(For the adventurous folks, who want to avoid some of the traffic
light delays on Trapelo Rd, take Route 128 to the Route 2 east exit
(exit 29A). Take the second exit on route 2 (exit 55, Pleasant St).
At the end of the ramp, take a right. The road ends in a T in about a
quarter mile. Make a right and a quick left on to Waltham St.
(You'll be on a really narrow road and it will change names to Woburn
St in Waltham.) This road dumps you out on Trapelo Rd. Make a left
and the fields will be about a mile down the road on your right.
From Boston:
Go West to the end of Memorial Drive or Storrow Drive. Stay to the
right, away from signs for Route 2, instead opting for Mt. Auburn
Street. You'll pass a cemetery on your left; get into the right lane,
preparing to take a right after the Star Market (which is about 1/2
mile away). You are now on Belmont Street. Follow for several miles
into Belmont, going through 4 lights (counting flashing lights as well
as "normal" ones). Just after the 4th light, bear right at the fork
(Brigham's will now be on your left). Proceed straight; you'll pass a
Starbucks on your left. Go straight for several more miles past
another Star Market. Go straight through the next two lights and up a
hill. The Fernald school will be on your left.
