St. Anthony's driving teachers educate students on 1. how to drive, 2. NYS road rules, 3. being aware of their surroundings, and 4. dealing with distractions (such as cellphones and the other kids in the car who are also taking the course). Classes are given weekly over a 4 month period on the same day each week. They consist of an hour lecture and an hour and a half of shared driving. The teacher sits in the passenger seat and four students rotate between sitting in the back and taking their turn in the driver's seat. What is taught MUST be studied and practiced at home before the next class, which requires the presence and guidance of a licenced adult. The teacher is a teacher, not a magician, and without reading the manual and spending time behind the wheel, your teen won't gain the confidence they'll need, placing themselves and other's at risk. St. Anthony's cost for group driving lessons is exactly average for Long Island. If you prefer private instruction, there are places listed online (at a much higher fee). You will still need to practice with your son/daughter at home, and they will still need to study the driving manual and memorize NYS driving rules, not just for the test, but literally for their lives. 4 Stars Because: If you attend this course but do not go to this school, you will generally find yourself treated by the other kids as if you do not exist. Recommendation: Absolutely worth it for what it teaches if you attend this high school or if you are coming in from the outside and are confident enough not to let cliques bother you. Read Less

Very patient teachers; taught the students about rules of the road, and just as importantly, to be aware of their surroundings and other cars. The students learned how to drive with the distraction of other kids in the car which is something every teen will experience. For the time and cost at St. Anthony's driving class, every bit of information taught was a step toward keeping the kids safer and helping prevent possible future accidents. The course was broken into 2 sections, an hour lecture and an hour and a half of driving that was shared with other students in the car every week for about 4 months. I wish there were more driving hours, but I also know that no one teaches driving for free and if more hours are needed, there are always private lessons at an actual driving school, but this class id the perfect starting point.
