Our Vermont licensed driver education programs teach students the rules of the road while they gain the confidence to apply those skills behind the wheel with a highly skilled educator.

Students enrolled at Upper Valley Driving Academy learn that the choices they make today result in the consequences of tomorrow. We hope that students making healthy choices behind the wheel could lead to a lifetime of collision-free driving.
