Driver Education and SAT Preparation
DRIVER EDUCATION AND SAT PREPARATION
Winter/Spring 2026 – Registration opens November 4!
Driver Education (In-person Only – MPH Campus)
Driver Education begins January 12 and runs through May 16. End date may change if individual classes or drives are cancelled due to weather or other conditions. Students must be 16 years old by the first week of the course and possess a valid driving permit. Students attend theory and drive classes once a week, 1.5 hours each class/drive (three hours per week) to complete the required 24 hours of in-class and in-car requirements regulated and approved through the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles. Theory classes and behind-the-wheel instruction taught by certified driver education instructors. Students may miss no more than 2 theory classes and 2 drive classes, and ALL missed classes/drives must be made up during the time of the course.
Upon completion of the course, students will receive an MV-285 Student Certificate of Completion from New York State. This certificate includes the NY pre-licensing 5-hour course requirements, an insurance reduction certificate, and allows 17-year-old drivers to upgrade to a senior license. Our goal is to teach our students to be the most responsible, safe drivers possible.
It is important to select a theory and driving class that the student can attend for the entire session. MPH Driver Education classes fill quickly, and schedule changes cannot be made once the course begins.
Theory Classes:
Tuesdays, 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Wednesdays, 4:15-5:45 p.m. or 6:00-7:30 p.m.
Available drive sessions will be listed when you register and choose a theory class time.
There are no theory classes or drives the week of February break or Spring break.
Course Fee: $650
