Our Driver Education Course is broken into two different phases: The Classroom Phase and The Driving Phase.
The Classroom Phase
The classroom phase consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction. Students will be given tests & quizzes throughout the class and will also have regular homework assignments. On the last day of class students will be given the Colorado State Permit Test and will be issued the BOST Written Completion Statement and an Affidavit of Completion of the driver education classroom course. These forms are required to obtain a minor's learner's permit.
Attendance is MANDATORY! Absences can be difficult to make up and will delay moving on to the driving phase.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DRIVING PHASE COULD TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO COMPLETE, DEPENDING ON INSTRUCTOR AVAILABILITY AND STUDENT SCHEDULES.
A $25 fee will be imposed for cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, or for arriving for a session unprepared to drive. (ex: no permit, glasses if required.)
Students will be given the Colorado State Driving Test, after they have held their permit for one year and have logged 50 hours of driving time.
* The fee for both phases is $350.
Grades
This course provides 3 elective credits for Littleton Public School students. The student may choose standard grading, A, B, C, or Pass/Fail. A passing grade is 80% or higher. Upon completion of both phases, students will receive a Certificate of Completion and a grade report will be mailed home. Schools will be notified and grades will be recorded on transcripts at the end of the semester in which the course was completed. This only applies to LPS students.
Age Requirements
Students MUST be 14 years and 10 months old to attend the classroom phase. Before driving on the street, students must pass the classroom phase, be at least 15 years old, and have a minor's instruction permit.
