Varsity Driving Academy

Varsity Driving Academy teaches Woodbridge students how to drive safely and defensively. Our goal is to help these students prepare for their bright futures. We succeed more often than not due to our flexibility in learning how to drive.

We don’t want to add more weight to the shoulders of our students. Instead, we pick them up and train them to drive. After behind the wheel training session, we drop the students off at home. This is one of the many different ways we make learning how to drive easier for students and their parents.
