Classroom
The classroom phase is the foundation of the Andrew Driver Education program. The classroom runs at the same time as the driving phases. This allows the student to receive information about basic car control and safe motor vehicle operation, then to apply it to real world situations in the driving phases. Studies have proven that this type of integrated program provides the optimum opportunity for student learning and success. The program covers a wide variety of driving and traffic safety topics and are supported by a variety of guest speakers throughout the semester.
