Youth Programs
30 hour classroom class for Drivers Ed. Ages 14-18
These parent-child classes are especially for our 3 to 5 year old friends!
Parents and children spend the entire time together, engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities.
In these classes, parents and children separate from each other half-way through the class.
This is all about support, resources, knowledge, and guidance for parents.
Learning to drive is a major milestone — give your teen the confidence and skills they need with our in-person Classroom Driver’s Education program. Our state-approved course provides engaging, faceto-face instruction designed to prepare students not only to pass the permit test, but to become safe, responsible drivers for life. Why Choose In-Person Classroom Instruction? • Live interaction with a licensed instructor • Students can ask questions in real time and receive immediate clarification on important driving laws and safety topics. • Stronger engagement and accountability • A structured classroom setting helps students stay focused and on pace — no distractions, no clicking through slides. • Group discussion and real-life scenarios • Students learn from real-world examples, peer questions, and guided discussions that deepen understanding. • Better preparation for the permit test • Instructors review key concepts, practice tests, and commonly missed questions to boost confidence and success. • Build responsibility and safe decision-making skills • Class discussions reinforce the serious responsibility that comes with being behind the wheel. Important Note: This course fulfills the 30 hours classroom portion only of Driver’s Education and does not include the behind he-wheel driving hours. For the behind-the-wheel requirement, we coordinate with A+ Driving School. Enrollment with A+ is optional, but it is a convenient option for Rockford-Area families. *Please note: Only your selected behind-the-wheel provider can issue the required “blue card.” Our program does not issue blue cards.
