From South of the School (Westchester County):
Take I-684 north until it ceases to be a divided highway and becomes Route 22 north (Do not take the exit marked ‘Brewster’; rather follow the signs for 22 north).
*Proceed north on route 22 for approximately one mile to the first traffic light, just after Dill’s Best on your right. Turn right at the traffic light onto Milltown Road. Proceed for 0.8 mile and bear right onto Federal Hill Road. The Melrose School is on your right, 0.5 mile up the hill on Federal Hill Road. There is a sign at the main entrance to the school.
From West of the School:
Take I-84 east to exit 20N. You will merge onto the northernmost section of I-684 and then very soon be on the two-lane Route 22. Refer to the second paragraph above (*) for the rest.
From North of the School (Dutchess County):
Some from Dutchess County will find it convenient to come east on I-84 and should follow the directions for coming from the west. Others will wish to come southbound on Route 22. After passing the intersection with Route 312, there will be two traffic lights for a shopping center on your right and then the traffic light for Milltown Road. Turn left onto Milltown Road. Proceed for 0.8 mile and bear right onto Federal Hill Road. The Melrose School will be 0.5 mile up the hill on your right.
From East of the School (Northern Fairfield County):
Take I-84 west through Danbury and into New York State. Take the exit 20, marked both 22 north and 684 south. Stay to the right on the exit ramp, following the sign to Route 22 north. Refer to the second paragraph (*) for the rest.
Shortcut:
Take I-84 West to exit 2 in Connecticut. Follow the signs for Mill Plain Road (rather than Ridgebury Road). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right and then make another immediate right, i.e. heading East on Mill Plain Road. Go straight through the traffic light for Ridgebury Road and past the entrance for Rosy Tomorrows Restaurant. The next left is Aunt Hack Road. Milano’s Deli is on the corner. Turn left onto Aunt Hack Road and almost immediately turn left again onto Old Mill Plain Road. Take your first right at fork onto Joe’s Hill Road. Stay to the right. The school will be on the left approximately 3 miles later (as Joe’s Hill Road crosses New York, it becomes Federal Hill Road). If you should miss the turn onto Joe’s Hill Road, you will find yourself in the parking lot of Rosy Tomorrows.
