FWCS Driver Education Session Begins Soon

Fort Wayne Community School will offer several sessions of Driver Education classes running February through July at the FWCS Career Academy at Anthis Automotive Center, 1219 S. Lafayette St.

Class times offered are either Saturdays or two nights a week while school is in session, and several different times during the weekday once summer vacation begins.

The courses are open to any student, whether they attend FWCS or not, who is at least 15 years old before the session begins. The student also must be currently enrolled and in good standing with a high school. The State of Indiana requires 30 hours of classroom instruction to successfully complete the program.

Students can enroll in classroom only instruction, which is $78, driving instruction, which is $320, or both for $398. Enrollment in both parts is required to get a driving permit at the age of 15. A deposit of $199 is required for registration with the other payment due before completion of program.

FWCS is one of the longest running Driver Ed programs in the state of Indiana, beginning in 1956. Every instructor is a professional teacher/educator with many years of experience in the public school classroom, as well as special training in Driver Education. More than 400 years of experienced instruction is represented in the Driver Education teaching staff.
