Driver's Education:

• is a course that consists of 30 hours of classwork and 6 hours behind-the-wheel training.
• is required for any person under the age of 18 desiring to receive a driver's license/learner's permit. Anyone who has turned 14 and 6 months old may sign up for class.
• is not part of the school day or of school curriculum, but is considered a "part of school life."
• is designed and dedicated to prepare our students for a lifetime skill that greatly enhances their quality of life

 Driver's Education Goals:

The goal of Driver Education is to provide each student driver a start in psychomotor skills and mental attitudes that are essential to becoming the most competent, skillful, responsible driver possible. This serves as a base for parents to continue the instruction and supervision of their young driver in developing the necessary knowledge, skill, and attitude needed to become a safe driver. **Communication with parents/guardians is an important key in accomplishing this goal.

       To be Eligible for Brunswick County Schools Driver Education You Must: 

• Be at least fourteen and a half years of age, but not more than seventeen years of age.
• Pay $65 as required by the NC General Assembly in HB 200. Process for payment of fee will be included on all registration forms. No cash or personal checks.
• Agree to abide by the Code of Student Conduct as found in the Brunswick County Schools Student Handbook.

 **Parent or "parent approved" representative required!
