Teach Them Well, Keep Them Safe!

When your child starts learning to drive, it can be an exciting time. They are about to embark on a path that leads to freedom, mobility, and individuality. It may even teach them something about responsibility.

Of course, while they’re really excited about this huge milestone, you may be a little more anxious about the situation. They’re going to face a lot of challenges on the road, and you want them to be as safe as possible.

Together, we can give your teen the driving skills that will last a lifetime.

What our Customer
say about us

SWERVE was a wonderful experience for my son, my husband, and I!SWERVE was a wonderful driver's education experience for my son and it was worry free for both my husband and I! My son learned very well from both the driving teacher/in-car experience and also in the classroom. SWERVE was extremely convenient as the classes were at and the drives started and ended from my son's high school. Our son kept us informed as to what he was learning and how we needed to change our driving habits to keep up to date with the progress that SWERVE has made in driver's education since we learned to drive. When a training drive was canceled due to bad weather, it was a breeze to reschedule. The online scheduling and over-the-phone contact with SWERVE's website and real-live employees was worry and stressfree. The statistics that SWERVE has to show that it is the best driver's training program show the truth and I can't imagine having trusted our son's driver's training to a different driving school. All three of us recommend SWERVE at the highest level and without any hesitation.

My son learned a lot in the class. It was valuable training. He learned everything he needed to pass both the written and driving tests.I thought the entire program was well ran. I had lots of questions figuring out which class to take and the individuals answering the questions were very helpful. My son had a good time in class. He learned a lot and respected his teachers. It was a good experience. My younger son will be 15 soon and I will definately use swerve again.
