• Summers Driving School LLC does our best to be upfront about our policies and procedures. If you have questions that are not answered here or elsewhere on our website, please call us for clarification. 
• Students must have reached at least the age of 14 years and 6 months to be in the class. If the student wishes to attend as soon as they are of age, please contact us shortly after their 14th birthday to begin the registration process.
• Students may not take the complete Teen Driver Education course if they are going to reach their 18th birthday before they complete their behind-the-wheel driving time. ANY STUDENT WHO IS 18 OR OLDER MUST HAVE THEIR PERMIT TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF ANY VEHICLE INCLUDING WITH A LICENSED DRIVER EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR. 
• Payment plans are available. First payment is due the first night/day of class. Remaining payments can be made during the duration of the class. Completion certificate will not be issued to student if all fees have not been paid by the end of the course. 
• Students DO NOT have to wait until they are finished with the classroom hours to begin behind-the-wheel. We will discuss their driving scheduled with you and get them behind-the-wheel as soon as we can agree on scheduled times. 
• Behind-the-wheel driving is scheduled for the oldest students first, when their schedule accommodates it. However, because our classes are smaller than many schools and we do concurrent behind-the-wheel, our behind-the-wheel hours are usually complete within the same month the student begins the course. 
• Students who miss a class can make up that time during another scheduled class session. We are flexible with schedules and track attendance based on hours as well as topics covered, so doing a makeup class is easy.
