About Us
How Our Program Works
Our standard program is six 1-hour behind-the-wheel sessions with our instructor, which is modified to meet your individual driving needs.
Our program begins with basic skills taught in a controlled environment and moves to advanced skills which include highway and interstate driving.
We serve:
- Teen Drivers
- Permit Drivers
- Parochial School Drivers
- Home School Drivers
- Licensed Drivers looking to freshen their skills and learn new traffic laws
We encourage new drivers to choose the 6-hour program package when registering. This option allows for better lesson continuity over choosing single sessions.

"Bill was the absolute best to work with on helping my son learn to drive. My son had quite a lot of anxiety going into the process,
but with Bill's guidance and patience, he was able to gain a ton of confidence and learned some great skills/techniques. We passed the
driving test on our first try and we owe it all to Springfield Driving School. Wonderful people and a great experience - highly recommend!"
