Thank you for considering us for your child's driver's education course. To ensure that your child has a spot in class be sure to click the yellow button at the top of the page to pay a deposit.
For student enrollment via mail or fax please click here.
Please note that we provide a parent orientation that is held on the first day of class where we can answer any and all questions that you may have. We ask that one or both parents be in attendance.
The tuition must be paid in full before your child will be allowed to attend class.
The price of tuition includes the classroom portion, behind-the-wheel portion as well as a student workbook that contains the various traffic signs as well as traffic laws and procedures that we will be discussing in class.
Driver Education is a 38 Hour Course that includes 30 hours of classroom time and 8 hours of private behind-the-wheel driving sessions. We cover all traffic laws and procedures in depth during class.
The student will receive a workbook in class to keep and study until their behind-the-wheel sessions are completed.
The student can attend the classroom portion provided that he or she is at least 14 years and 9 months in age.
Student cannot start the driving portion until they reach 15 years in age. Any other student 15-16 years old can attend driver education with us.
Driving sessions are done Monday-Friday (after school when school is in session) with some limited driving done on Saturday.
After the classroom portion is completed, the driving portion is typically completed within 4-6 weeks. Depending on the weather and other factors, the driving sessions can take longer to complete.
Driving sessions are interactive and we provide the basic fundamentals of highway driving during this phase of driver training. Regardless of their driving experience, we start all of our students in neighborhoods driving at slow & safe speeds & gradually we move to more complex & challenging highway traffic.
After each driving session, we give you a progress report noting your child strengths & weaknesses. We want you to be informed of your child's progression with us.
We also do not believe in having multiple students in the car at one time as this tends to make the student that is driving more nervous.
