Driver's Education

For Rising 10th–12th Graders

This course will focus on equipping students with the skills to be safe, defensive drivers. In-course work will include in-depth discussion on the effects of alcohol and drugs on drivers, as well as the dangers of distracted drivers. Students will participate in simulated driving situations and actual behind-the-wheel practice and may choose to take the Alabama Driver’s test. The class also includes a mini-course on boating safety, and students will have an opportunity to take the Alabama Boating Basics test to qualify to receive a valid Alabama Boater’s endorsement.

Choose from three one-week sessions during Summer@Springs 2019. Times listed reflect in-class work. Driving times will be arranged with small groups of 2-3 students as schedules permit during the week of the course and will continue as schedules permit during the summer.

Please note: Student participants need to have a valid Alabama Driver’s Permit in order to take part in behind-the-wheel practice driving.
