FAQ's

Who can take Driver's Education? Our program is designed for high school students, charter school students and home school students, who are close to getting their Instructor Permit at age of 15 years and 6 months or while they are still in high school. It is highly recommended to take the classroom instruction and do the Behind The Wheel driving time as soon as possible, working with the instructor's schedule. Please allow several weeks after the classroom portion is finished before the student begins the BTW. Each instructor drives each student individually in 2 hour increments on three different days. It does take some time to work through the list so patience is needed. The student must complete the Behind The Wheel within one year upon completion of the classroom instruction. We do not offer BTW to students who have already received their Driver's License as they don't pay attention and it is a waste of valuable time. Adults can not take this program.
What if school is canceled during the winter for a Snow Day, will the Driver Ed Class be canceled? YES. If school is canceled, so is the Drivers' Education class. In the event that classes are canceled, extra days may be added to the class, or homework is assigned at the instructor's discretion. If after school activities/sports are canceled due to the weather turning bad during the school day, the driver's education class will also be canceled.Who provides the vehicles for the Behind The Wheel driving time?
