As Minnesota's largest driving school, Safeway has been creating safe, responsible teen drivers for over 36 years. Minnetonka Community Education has partnered with Safeway to offer classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons that emphasize defensive driving techniques while targeting and influencing the invincible teen attitude. Our goal is to educate students to become safe and skillful drivers.

Classroom Instruction: Our program includes 30 hours of classroom instruction, as required by law, in ten 3-hour lessons. Students can start classes at age 14½, obtain their permit at age 15, and license at age 16. The classroom curriculum includes study guides, PowerPoint instruction, videos, discussion, worksheets, and interactive software. Classes focus on critical behaviors and attitudes common to teen drivers and prepare them for the Minnesota Permit Exam.
Behind-the-Wheel Instruction: Students must complete six hours of driving lessons with a Safeway instructor before taking the Minnesota Road Exam. Lessons are divided into three two-hour private lessons with a responsible, professional Safeway driving instructor. Students can be picked up from and dropped off at home, school or work. Safeway offers convenient internet behind-the-wheel scheduling. The lessons are given on actual city streets, highways and freeways. It is recommended that students take their first lesson 6-8 weeks after receiving their permit. Lessons should be at least 30 days apart allowing for practice with parents in-between lessons.
Parent Involvement: Safeway offers detailed information on its website to assist parents with understanding Minnesota laws and requirements for student drivers. Monthly Parent Information Classes are offered at MHS, as well as an online Parent Class.
