Car accidents are the number one killer of teens in the U.S.

Since we opened our door in 2009, over 10,000 students have gone through our driver training school.

We’re really proud that our driving school students have an accident rate of 12.5% their first year of driving, compared to the national average of nearly 50%.

This is a great course. Well structured, great information and they make it easy for your teen to get to class and learn what she needs to know. My daughter learned to drive--and passed her test on the first try!!!-- and I learned a few things too; there have been many changes in driving laws. Between the teen classes and parent class, where I became a more aware driver, my daughter gained the skills and knowledge that made us both feel more confident about her being on the road alone. Thank you!

As "boring" as my teenager said the classroom lessons were, he would spit out information during our drives that surprised me. The quality of in class and in car lessons was impressive. Yes, booking drives online could be difficult at times, but I found that if you contacted the Greenlight crew, they would bend over backwards to work with you. Numerous times we had to change something, and their attitude was always, "no problem!" My one suggestion would be for the parents to take the parent class early on in this process. VERY informative! It will help when you're teaching your child.

I had a wonderful experience with Fresh Green Light. The instructors make you feel comfortable both on the road and in the classroom. You can come to class based around YOUR schedule, which is very convenient. I felt well prepared for my test, and I feel confident in understanding the rules of the road, thanks to Fresh Green Light

Very happy with the staff. Energetic and enthusiastic about what they are doing. We found it easy to schedule behind the wheel sessions and when we missed a class, scheduling a make up was easy. Terrific streamlined process. Behind the wheel teacher was fun, humorous, and put my daughter at ease.
