Longest commute to grade school

Can anyone top this commute for grade school.

1957-1960. I lived in Lake Forest, Illinois. Grade School was at Bateman
at 20 E. Burton Place in Chicago. 6th, 7th and 8th grades.

I took the old North Shore train to Howard Street. The El fron Howard to North Ave. And then walked to 20 E. Burton Street. Everyday for 3 years.

It was where my parents wanted me to go School. Private school with no more than
12 children in one class.
