Prerequisite: 15 years old, passing grade in eight courses in two semesters prior to enrolling in the class.
The state law requires that the minimum age for an Illinois driver’s license is eighteen (18) years, except for
students who have their parent’s permission and have successfully completed driver education. Driver
Education Classroom is a minimum of (thirty) 30 hours in length and requires student attendance to satisfy
this state requirement. Any student not completing this requirement will have to repeat this phase of driver
education. This class promotes the development of citizens who will learn and follow state traffic regulations
and laws. It also cultivates desirable attitudes towards safe driving habits that are necessary to become safe
and responsible users of the highway transportation system. The classroom portion of Driver Education is
offered to students during the sophomore year. In order to be eligible for Driver Education the student must
be fifteen (15) years of age. Student’s who desire to take Driver’s Education courses in public schools or
nonpublic schools must receive a passing grade in at least eight (8) courses the previous two (2) semesters
before enrolling in Driver’s Education.
Additional Information:
Driver Education phase two, Behind-the-Wheel, needs to be pre-arranged through the student’s home
district or private facility. All students must complete the State requirements for the “graduated driver’s
license program.” This includes documenting a parent/adult riding with their student driver for a minimum of
fifty (50) hours of which at least ten (10) hours must be night driving. The school’s behind-the-wheel driving
time does not count towards the fifty (50) hour requirement. It is the responsibility of the student and the
parent/adult to complete the driving log from correctly before turning it in at the examiner’s station. More
information on this is available in the Illinois Rules of the Road book.
