Academy School Of Driving Our instructors have anywhere from 5 to 25 years of experience teaching safe driving to their students! And it's with a great deal of intuition, patience and expertise, that we prepare our student drivers for the Road Test and beyond. You can always expect to find our vehicles to be clean, air conditioned, and in the best condition just for YOU! All of our vehicles also have professionally installed brakes on the passenger side.

We firmly believe that when a student is nervous or tense, it is more difficult to learn - in and out of the classroom. We know that when a student is relaxed, they are more able to be receptive and learn. When you know your instructor, you will be instantly more at ease. Academy School of Driving prides itself in creating a rapport with the student as well as a relaxed, safe, and professional environment. Feel free to ask others about their experiences driving with our instructors.

Messed up my son's driving test date and the owner did not even respond to my email or multiple phone calls.

Did my six hours with them and it was a breeze! Tyler is the best. They teach everything you need to know and do it with ease. I finally got my license thanks to them. Go here!

I took lessons at Academy School of Driving last year. I have always been very scared and anxious of driving and I've put learning off for a few years because of this. I had such a great experience with Academy- I felt so comfortable with my instructors! They helped me face my fears and become a confident driver. They were such good teachers and all so kind. I got the basics down by the first lesson and passed my license test on the first try at the beginning of this year. thank you thank you thank you! :

I did my 6 hours with John on 11/1 and 11/2 and had a great experience! He was very professional and had great communication. He taught me everything I needed to know and was confident in my abilities. With only 10 days left, I felt fully prepared and passed my road test on 11/10 - my first try. I would recommend Academy School of Driving to anyone. Thank you so much :

Gabe is an awesome teacher! My son had the best experience learning to drive. This is the best money I ever spent. Now I know my son knows enough that he can drive me around! The whole experience was hassle free, and personally suited to our needs. I highly recommend this driving school!

I have used Academy Driving School for both of my children. Most recently Alex and Gabe were the instructors for my daughter and they were professional, timely and put my daughter at ease. Gabe was very flexible to accommodate the inclement weather and to communicate with me. A company is only as good as its leadership and employees; Academy is a good company!
