Class Schedule
All sessions have online, asynchronous class through West Ada's Microsoft TEAMS platform.

  • Asynchronous classes will be Monday - Friday for one and one half (1½) hours.

  • Classwork must be completed every day before 4:00 pm.

  • Students will need access to TEAMS every day for their class instructions.

Drive Schedule*
Driving will be done on an A/B/C Block schedule with drives lasting for 2 hours. Driving schedules will be arranged at the Student/Parent Orientation meeting that will be held approximately 2 weeks before the start of Class. Drive times may vary due to the availability of Drive Instructors. Students must attend all classes and drives in their chosen session. State Regulations do not allow for prearranged absences. Students who miss class or a drive due to illness will need to make arrangements for a make-up session with their class/drive instructor. Makeup cost will be at a rate of $30.00 hour. Permits will be issued at the completion of 30 hours of class, 6 hours of driving instruction and 6 hours of observation in a session.

Students must be at least 14½ in order purchase a permit and to be allowed in the program. The purchase of a permit does not guarantee placement. Upon completion of the program each student is required by the State of Idaho to drive with parental supervision for a minimum of six (6) months and fifty (50) hours. During this time frame the parents and students will be required to keep a log of their hours.

Driving block options:

  • 7:00am - 9:00am

  • 9:00am - 11:00am

  • 11:00am - 1:00pm
