    Classroom Theory

    This program is normally completed in tenth grade. Our program is designed to inform students about all aspects of driving. Topics range form buying and maintaining a car to the traffic laws that we're all expected to know and obey. They will learn about Pennsylvania's car insurance requirements and learn fuel saving tips. Driving attitudes are individually evaluated. Special emphasis is given to the number one highway killer, drunk driving.
