Driver's Education: Classroom Instruction & Behind the Wheel: Ages 14.5-18

Safeway Driving School provides a comprehensive driver education program designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed for safe and responsible driving. Our program is open to students aged 14.5 to 18, offering flexibility and convenience for families.

What's Included:

• 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training: Individualized, hands-on driving lessons with professional, experienced instructors.
• Flexible scheduling: Convenient class times and driving sessions designed to fit your student's busy schedule, with easy make-up options available for busy teenaged schedules.
• State certification: Upon completion of the program, students will receive all necessary documentation to apply for their Minnesota driver’s license.

Important Timelines and Planning Tips:

• Students have one year from the end of the classroom portion or their 15th birthday, whichever is later, to complete their three, 2 hour, behind-the-wheel lessons.
• Safeway recommends 30 days between each behind-the-wheel lesson, with the final lesson completed about 30 days before the potential road test.
• It is essential for students to practice regularly with a supervising driver, as frequent practice builds the confidence and skills needed for successful completion of the program.
