Fall Semester Driver's Education

In addition to offering driver’s education during the summer months, Indian Springs School will now offer sessions during our fall semester. These sessions cost $400 and are open to any public, private, or homeschooled student who meets the following criteria before enrolling online:

  • Must be 15 and hold a current, valid Alabama Learner's Permit.
  • Complete a six-hour driving log prior to the start of your summer session or the month you are enrolled in during our fall semester sessions.
  • For October, November, and December sessions only, you must be turning 16 within two months of the start of the session (beginning of the month you are enrolled). This is to ensure that students have had adequate time to practice driving. (e.g., if you enroll for the November session, your birthday must fall before the end of January).

About Driver's Education at Indian Springs

This course will focus on equipping students with the skills to be safe, defensive drivers. This class is intended for young drivers who have experience and are wanting to take the Alabama Road Test during the month they are enrolled. Students who complete the course will also receive a Course Completion Certificate that most insurance companies accept to offer a discounted rate.  
 
Online classroom work will include in-depth information on the effects of alcohol and drugs on drivers, as well as the dangers of distracted driving. Students will have an opportunity to take the Alabama Boating Basics test to qualify to receive a valid Alabama Boater’s endorsement. All coursework is done online, and the driving instructor will email you directions for coursework as well as a calendar to sign up for in-person driving times.  
Behind-the-wheel instruction will be scheduled individually based on calendar availability. This class costs $400 and is non-refundable.
PLEASE NOTE: Student participants MUST have a valid Alabama Driver’s Permit in order to enroll in this course. This class is not intended to be the first time a student gets behind the wheel. Students should practice their driving as soon as they receive their permit.
