Driver Education

The St. Johns County Tax Collector (SJCTC), in partnership with the St. Johns County School District, offers Driver Education classes to all eligible high school students. The classes are available at all high schools. *

Phase I & II Registration:  To register for either course, go to the Tax Collector’s website at www.sjctax.us.

The Phase I Course is designed to prepare students for obtaining a Learner Permit, which allows restricted driving privileges for one year. The classroom instruction covers driving laws, rules, road signs and safety. These classes are taught by trained instructors at the high school where the student is enrolled. Each class has a limited enrollment and can fill up quickly. Therefore, enrollment takes place on a first-come, first-serve basis. During a Phase I session, classes meet every school day from 8-9 a.m. throughout each of the scheduled sessions. Bus transportation is not provided.

Those desiring to attend must be at least 14 and half years old by the start of the first class. Students will be required to complete an online registration form with their name, address, date of birth, phone number, high school and requested class dates.

Phase II: Behind the Wheel, a 27 hour driving course designed to improve driving skills and confidence with practical experience is also available. Students must have 20 hours of driving experience prior to registering for Phase II. The cost of this course is $350.00. A completion certificate is required.
