The Driver Education Program offered is open to any area high school age student. This program is not available to ADULTS who have graduated from high school.
The Driver Education Program is Certified by the Arizona Department of Education and Arizona Department of Transportation/Motor Vehicle Division for participation in the Arizona High School Driver Education Program. The Instructors are ADE Certified with the Driver Education Endorsement. All eligible high school students can participate. Please plan accordingly and make sure the eligible student finishes the Behind The Wheel driving time prior to turning 18 years of age. If the student is 18 and in high school he/she can still participate in the program.
The Program consists of 36 hours: 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours of Behind The Wheel (BTW) driving time in our vehicles equipped with a front passenger brake. Please allow several weeks after the classroom portion is completed before the BTW is scheduled. Please read all the information provided on the registration form. Please choose a class that allows for plenty of time to complete the BTW.
The Registration fee is $400 – eligible as an Arizona Tax Credit, and the payment is NONREFUNDABLE. All Tax Credit payments are nonrefundable. If your student is unable to attend the class registered for you can transfer to another class. If the other class dates will not work, you need to make sure that you claim your registration fee payment as an AZ TAX CREDIT when filing your AZ Income taxes.
FUSD would like to acknowledge our local NAPA Auto Parts store who have offered a free Driver Safety Kit to each student who completes the Driver Education program and presents a coupon along with their newly issued Driver's License to obtain this kit. Thank you!
REMINDER FOR CLASSES OFFERED DURING THE WINTER SEASON: If regular school is canceled due to inclement weather, the driver education class will also be canceled. If during the school day the weather turns bad and FUSD Administration cancels all after school activities, the driver education class will also be canceled.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our program is designed for high school students, charter school students and home school students, who are close to getting their Instructor Permit at age of 15 years and 6 months or while they are still in high school. It is highly recommended to take the classroom instruction and do the Behind The Wheel driving time as soon as possible, working with the instructor's schedule. Please allow several weeks after the classroom portion is finished before the student begins the BTW. Each instructor drives each student individually in 2 hour increments on three different days. It does take some time to work through the list so patience is needed. The student must complete the Behind The Wheel within one year upon completion of the classroom instruction. We do not offer BTW to students who have already received their Driver's License as they don't pay attention and it is a waste of valuable time. Adults can not take this program.
-
YES. If school is canceled, so is the Drivers' Education class. In the event that classes are canceled, extra days may be added to the class, or homework is assigned at the instructor's discretion.
