Driver's Ed

Parent/Guardian Class

A 2 hour Parent/Guardian class is required for students under 18 years of age. It will usually run the day before the student class unless otherwise noted. (Please be aware, the parent/guardian class can run over 2 hours)

Students cannot drive until the parent class requirement has been satisfied!

All requirements must be met within 2 years of your start date to be certified by the RMV, which is why we recommend planning to complete them within one year.

You will not get a driver ed certificate in the mail, it only means that the RMV has certified that you completed Driver Ed.

All payments and balances due 2 weeks prior to start date. There are no refunds once class has started
