We understand that learning to driver can potentially be a stressful, confusing and challenging experience for both students and parents. Our mission is to provide a calm and supportive environment for optimal learning.
Completing this course will provide students with a wide range of driving experience with a professional instructor that will advance their driving skills regardless of experience. In many cases, completing this course will save you money on car insurance and give students early eligibility for a senior license. In addition, students who complete the classroom/online Safety Ed course and the Behind-the-Wheel course may take the PennDOT Driver’s License test at Carlisle High School.

While there is sometimes a wait list to drive during study hall or bison block, there is little to no wait time to drive before or after school.
We will do our best to accommodate students during their preferred time to drive. The more options students provide on the sign-up list, the sooner we can accommodate them.
Priority is first based on grade level, followed by availability.
Driving Tests
Students have the option to complete their PA Driver's test at school once they have:
• Met all PennDOT requirements
• Completed Safety Education (classroom)
• Completed the Behind-the-Wheel program
Before taking their Driver's test at school, all students complete a practice test to give them feedback before taking the Driver's test.
