Cost of the Driver's Education Class is $ 350.00. For students who are Indian or have contact with D.H.S. (Department of Human Services), these agencies sometimes will reimburse the student with the full or partial amount of the class. We accept pay pal, credit cards, cash and checks.
People who take Driver's Education through S.O.D.S. are a wide group of people. Primarily, the base groups of people who take our class are students from public school who can't get into their school program, students from private schools where driver's education is not offered, students who are home schooled or had to get their G.E.D. for some reason and students who do not have 80 hours to do the parent taught program.
After finishing the classroom part of Driver's Education, students who are 15 1/2 years of age are eligible to take the state exam for their permit (without having completed Driver's Education). After passing the permit exam, students will be able to drive a vehicle for 6 months with a licensed driver in the front seat who is 21 years of age or older. After this 6 month time period & finishing the 6 hours of drive time, students will go back and take the driving part of the test where they will show the examiner they can perform basic maneuvers with the automobile.
