Grading: Students must pass with an 80% in all three phases of the program: class, driving, and attitude. Driver’s education is graded pass/fail.

*Drive Right Academy will not be responsible for any driving that a student may do outside the program, and that any such driving done outside the school program will be cause for dismissal from the class.

Expect to spend 30+ hours engaged in the coursework.
