Weather:ā
We are in the rainy season. We will cancel class when possible flooding may not only affect the students driving, but also the ability to make it safely to the school. The judgement of not coming to the school, when we don't cancel the classes is up to the parents, depending on what part of Harris or the surrounding counties you may live. Please check this website for weather updates and cancellations: confirmed cancellation of classes will be sent at least an hour before the class, if not sooner to both student and parent. Unfortunately, at this last hurricane we had no way to communicate we lost power both at our homes and the office.

We have installed a waiting area, to also serve as a drop-off spot due to rain. āā

Our Goals
ACCESSIBLE, AFFORDABLE, ENTERTAINING, PASSIONATE, & INFORMATIVE
"If I do not drive the way I teach, I should not be teaching!'
The reality is that most people out on the road driving today are barely average drivers, many with no type of formal theory or driving classes. Others attended formal classes and either were not taught with compassion or drivers have become complacent.
If you have the attitude even before you take the required theory class and road test, that you already know how to drive, that is where the problem begins. Knowing the answer is not understanding the law or how it applies. Even most on-line programs are poorly taught. Please remember, It is not the quantity of years you have been driving, but the quality of how you drive.
The knowledge of what to do legally, how to protect yourself, how to control smoothly the vehicle you are operating, how to do it in the most safe manner, how to drive smart and how to read traffic is the fallout from the above. Many people know how to move the car, but not drive it. Not everyone learns the same way or has the same skill set, yet there are still countless advance skills that can be taught to help anyone have the potential to at least be a better than average driver and/or ultimately be an outstanding driver.
School Classroom Atmosphere
It is my belief through life and experience that the best education method is done through hands on interactive learning in a classroom setting. Our teen students are graded not just by test scores but also their attitude, participation, note taking, and final test. In an atmosphere where the class is taught in an interesting and entertaining manner with incentives for doing well. The value of attending a Driving School who has the students' interest first is immense. The vast majority of both adults and teens learn little and retain even less when taking online courses. Sadly, it is about convenience and price, before it is about knowledge, skill and safety. As in all professions, not everyone has the same knowledge or passion, and that truly makes a difference.
Our hope is that we want students who have the desire to want to become the best possible drivers they can become and not settle for "just having a license" or "minimal standards passing with a 70 and be satisfied with that". To have such a strong impact that our students continue to drive the way they are taught for as long as they drive.
Call us anytime for additional information or questions you may have and/or make an appointment. Phone calls will be returned as soon as possible.
