CHAPEL HILL - CARRBORO

Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools offers driver education classes to high school students through a private contractor, Jordan Driving School of the Carolinas (JDSC). Driver Education is considered an after-school activity at the end of the school day.

Once the student completes the classroom portion, they are required to complete 6-hours of Behind the Wheel (BTW) driving. Students will automatically be added to the driving log. Assignments for driving will be oldest to youngest and could take 2-3 months.

The NC DMV requirements for Driver Education are:

Student must be 14.5 yrs. Old by the first day of class
Must attend and complete the 30-hr. of classroom instruction
Complete the required DMV vision check
Complete 6-hrs. BTW (behind the wheel) driving instruction
