Northwestern Driving School has been providing top-notch driving instruction to the Chicagoland area since 1989, earning a well-deserved reputation for excellence in responsible driving education. Our programs are designed to cater to both teens (15-18 years old) and adults, and we specialize in instruction for first-time drivers while also providing brush-up lessons.

At Northwestern Driving School, we prioritize student satisfaction and do our utmost to accommodate all students, offering comprehensive classroom instruction for teens seeking to complete their driver’s education and earn their state certification (instruction permit). Our instructors are fully licensed, bonded, and have years of experience teaching safe driving practices.

Our program focuses on helping our students develop essential mental skills that promote safe, responsible driving, including better decision-making skills, particularly in hazardous situations. We also aim to improve our students’ understanding of personal and vehicle limitations, ensuring that they are well-prepared to tackle any challenges they may encounter on the road.

We invite you to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have. Our team is always happy to help and dedicated to providing the best possible learning experience for our students.
