Your son or daughter can complete the state requirements with our driver’s education program.

Once this is provided to our school, you can receive the form so that the student can take their permit test at the DMV, or they can come to our main office and take the test and then proceed to the DMV to receive the temporary permit once passing the test. (A 125.00 deposit is required to receive the MV3001 permit application form).
