Classroom Driver Training is the first course students will complete in driver’s training. They will learn the fundamentals of driving, a basic understanding of the mechanics of the automobile and the development of defensive driving attitudes.  Classroom Driver Training consists of at least thirty hours of classroom training that is required by Illinois law.  In order to meet the time requirements students may not miss more than 5 days of class for any reason.  The students will also receive their instruction permits during CDT.  Receiving their instruction permit will involve passing the written state driving test and passing a vision screening. There is a $150 fee for this class that covers the cost of classroom and practice driver’s training.  The fee covers the cost of leasing and maintaining a vehicle for driver education.   In addition you must pay a $20 fee to the Illinois Secretary of State and provide the proper identification.

Successful completion of CDT.  Must have passed 8 academic credits in the previous 2 semesters. Assignments are made on the basis of age and grade eligibility. 

PDT consists of at least six hours of driving practice and twelve hours of observation time.  Students will be graded on the final road test administered at the end of the nine weeks.  The road test is the final and is pass/fail.  We are involved with the Cooperative Driver Testing Program which is a state program. It rewards students who have earned an A or B in both CDT and PDT with not having to duplicate the road test at the driver services facility.  Before obtaining their license a student must have passed the driver training courses, be 16 years of age, have driven 50 hours with an eligible driver and had their instructional permit for nine months.

Health is a comprehensive, modern approach to health education.  It will help the student to understand health concepts through direct and simple explanations.  This approach helps students apply health knowledge in making intelligent decisions about their health and encourages them to achieve and maintain a high level of physical, mental, and social well-being.
