Getting There

Directions To & From

There are three ways onto campus and they are not equally good. Which one you want depends entirely on which direction you're coming from.

The two routes that work

Coming from the south

In on Old Alabama, out on 141

Enter from the Old Alabama side, which is Entrance 1/2 at the bottom of the map.
Do your dropoff.
Leave via 141. This is the part people miss, and it's the single biggest traffic saver in the whole routine.

Coming from the north

In and out at Medlock Crossing

Turn right at the bank onto Medlock Crossing Parkway.
Hang a left into the school and circle around.
Leave the same way you came in. Don't improvise on this one.

Why the exit matters more than the entrance

Getting in is rarely the problem. Getting out at 3pm with four hundred other cars is. Picking your exit deliberately (141 from the south side, back out Medlock from the north) is what separates a five-minute pickup from a twenty-minute one.

Landmarks to orient by

Old Alabama Road runs along the south edge of campus. Entrance 1/2 and Exit 1 are both here.
Exit 2 takes you south and is marked on the east side of the map.
Entrance/Exit 3 is the north access, up by Medlock Crossing.
Cadence Academy Preschool sits at the north end of the lot, a useful landmark if you're coming in from that side.
The lake and Perimeter Church are on the east side of the building. If you can see water, you've gone past the school entrances.
