Mission Statement

“As experienced teachers and coaches, we are committed to bridging the gap in driver education access for students in our community. We aim to provide comprehensive, high-quality instruction that develops safe, confident, and responsible drivers that meet Iowa DOT requirements.”

About Us

Driven by a shared passion for student success both on and off the field, our story began with three teachers and coaches who recognized a significant hurdle for many young learners: access to driver's education. We consistently heard the same refrain – "I can't get a ride" – preventing motivated students from gaining this crucial life skill.

Frustrated by the transportation barrier hindering our students' independence and future opportunities, we decided to take action. We envisioned a driver's education program that wasn't limited by school walls or reliant on convenient transportation.

That vision has become a reality. Founded by educators who understand the demands and schedules of students and their families, we've created a flexible and accessible driver's education experience. Our commitment is to empower students with the knowledge and skills to become safe and responsible drivers, eliminating the "no ride" excuse and opening up new pathways for their growth and development. We believe that every student deserves the chance to learn to drive, and we're here to make that happen.
