  13. FAQ’s continued… • Driver’s Education-student must be 14 and have a learner’s permit prior to taking the class (cost is $325). *ADM offers a Fall, Spring and Summer offering for Driver’s Education…(limited availability with deadlines that must be met). *If ADM doesn’t work in your child’s schedule--There are many private companies that offer Driver’s Ed at different times of the year (Street Smarts, Auto Pilots, Drive Tech, etc.).
