SVVSD Drivers Education Program
 
The Driver Education course includes individualized instruction and training in techniques such as perceptual skills, troubleshooting, and defensive driving (30 hours classroom instruction + 6 hours Behind-the-Wheel instruction). The techniques are practiced in a variety of driving situations that include the following environments: heavy traffic (Longmont and Boulder), freeway driving, mountain driving, country driving, and open highway driving. The textbooks used are approved by the Colorado Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Business Group, and the Driver License Section.Students must be 14 years 10 months of age on or prior to the first day of class. The course is open to all licensed and non-licensed students who meet the current age requirements. A .25 credit hour graded on a Pass-Fail scale is automatically reported to the student's St Vrain Valley School District home school upon completion of the course.Upon successfully completing the classroom portion of the course, a affidavit of completion is issued. The affidavit of completion cannot be obtained until all 30 hours of class time are completed. The certificate is valid for a period of 180 days, and must be surrendered in order to be issued an Instruction permit. The student will be notified when they are scheduled for the Behind-the-Wheel, after completion of the class and their permit has been obtained.

Behind The Wheel only is available for students who have completed an online 30 hour course as well. The cost is $295 for 6 hours of driving instruction with a certified instructor.
