Independence - On-Campus Class

The following are the scheduled dates for our Public School, In-Person, After-School Program. To be eligible to register for these classes, students must be enrolled at and attend this school. It will be the choice of each high school as to what sessions they choose to hold. Each class session will run for 12 days. Students will need to bring a copy of their Birth Certificate on the first day of class. Other items needed are a pen and paper to take notes during the classes and a copy of the receipt of payment. Also, CMS encourages students to bring a laptop or tablet.

Please note that we can only teach students who are currently enrolled in a high school. Once a student graduates or stops attending high school, we can no longer teach them as we are part of the school system’s driver education program through Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools for public, charter, private and home-schooled students.

Tardies: CMS allows no tardies to class. Students coming to class tardy will have to make up a full class day on the scheduled makeup days.

Absences: For after-school, 12-day class sessions, students are allowed to make up 2 days for excused absences. The missed day(s) will be made up on the listed makeup days for that class session. Students missing more than 2 days will be listed as a Fail and will have to register and pay to attend another class session. There are no refunds should a student begin the class and then fail due to missing more than 2 days.

Registration: There is a fee of $65 to take the classroom phase of Driver Education; the driving phase will be free of charge. To guarantee a spot in a class, you must register and pay online BEFORE the first day of class with a credit card by clicking on the “Register and Pay Now” button found below each session that is open for registration. When registering, do not use the student's CMS email address as this email cannot be used for correspondence from Jordan Driving School.

Some students may be eligible for a reduction or complete waiver of the $65.00 registration fee. See the fee waiver page for more information.

Payment and Receipt: To show that a student has pre-registered, they will need to take a receipt of payment with them on the first day of class and give it to the Driver Education teacher. A receipt is available to print during the payment of the fee process.

If you do not have the ability to make payment through the website via the payment buttons below, you can still guarantee a spot in a session and receive a receipt by coming by the Jordan Driving School offices before the first day of class and pre-registering. Please call the Jordan Driving School offices at 704-566-9900 before coming to the office to see if space is available for the class that you are interested in. Payment can be made with a certified check, money order or cash. Certified checks or money orders should be made payable to, “Jordan Driving School Charlotte”. PERSONAL CHECKS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.

Class Session Capacity Information: The maximum number of students for a class is 35. Should all 35 spots be pre-paid, then no new or wait-listed students will be added to the class on the first day of class. If space is available, students may be added to the class, and can pay the $65 fee on the first day of class by cash, certified check, or money order. Certified checks or money orders should be made payable to, “Jordan Driving School Charlotte”. PERSONAL CHECKS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.

There must be a minimum of 30 students paid on the first day of class, or the class will be cancelled. If a class is cancelled because of insufficient numbers, those students who have already paid the fee will need to call the Jordan Driving School office to be moved to another class session.

Refund Policy: There will be no refunds should a student begin the class and then dropout or fail.

Classroom Location: For details about the classroom location contact the Driver Education Site Coordinator.

Behind-the-Wheel: Learn more about the BEHIND-THE-WHEEL phase of driver education.

18-Year-Old Students: Please Note: 18-year-old students are not required to take Driver Education to be eligible to obtain a license in North Carolina.
