On average it takes three to four months to complete driver education. This includes the classroom and driving sessions. This is if the student has no extracurricular activities.

Driver Education Classroom

*Please note that if you register for a class and are offered a seat in the class and you decide not to take the class or are a no show you will be dropped from the class and will not be given a seat until six months later. This also applies if you are dismissed from the class for any reason. We cannot work around extracurricular activities. We are an extracurricular activity. If in doubt DO NOT SIGN UP. We have many students wanting a seat in the driver education classes. This means you took a seat that could have gone to another student. If you have been given two previous seats you are ineligible to take driver education.*

You must be 14½ years old on the day the class begins to be eligible for the class.

Behind-the-Wheel Sessions
