Vermont requires all students ages 15-17 who wish to drive to take a Driver's Education class with a certified instructor. The course is 30 hours of classroom instruction, six hours of driving and six hours of observation. The class focuses on the basics of safe driving and serves as a basis for a career of successful car operation. Students will learn the fundamentals of operating a car in both theory and practice. Classroom exercises are tied directly to the work in car.Enrollment is limited to 30 students. As per DMV regulations, the first class is in person in Lincoln, VT. We begin Zoom sessions the next Tuesday or Thursday night from 6-8pm. Classes are Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Driving is arranged in several locations: Bristol. Randolph, Montpelier, the Mad River Valley and Hinesburg. We usually drive after school with some Saturday mornings available in both Bristol and Hinesburg.
