I agree that my son/daughter will attend all classes and drive at all scheduled drive times. Students must satisfactorily complete 30 hours of classroom instruction in 15 scheduled classroom sessions, 10 hours of behind the wheel instruction and complete a minimum of 6 hours of in-car observation hours. If a student misses a classroom session, the student shall be assigned a 500-word essay for each hour missed with a maximum of no more than 4 hours. A document must be signed by the parent stating the reason for missed class and must be turned into the instructor at the next class. The essay must be submitted at a date assigned by the instructor. All students must pass an eye chart examination 20/40 on the first day of class. All students must submit a copy of their birth certificate on or before the first day of class. Any student swearing, smoking, lying to an instructor, and/or impaired by any means which to include smelling of alcohol or drugs or any disruptive behavior is grounds for immediate dismissal and will not receive any refund. In order to receive a certificate of completion of driver’s education, you must successfully have completed 10 hours of behind the wheel driving and 6 hours of observation.
Tuition: Tuition is $900.00 per student per program. A deposit of $450.00 is required to reserve an available seat. If a deposit is not made your seat is not guaranteed. Tuition must be paid in full at the time of the first class.
Parent/Legal Guardian Involvement: At Thin Blue Line Driving School LLC, we value our partnership with you. The State of New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles requires that your son or daughter complete 40 hours of driving with a person over 25 years of age with a valid driver’s license before your son/daughter receives their driver’s license. We ask that you comply with this law. Teens 15 1/2 years or older practicing to drive are not allowed to drive out of the State of New Hampshire until they have obtained a valid New Hampshire Drivers License from DMV.
**All Students must be at least 15 years 9 months on the first day of class.
Refund Policy:
All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. A student may switch classroom sessions and apply that deposit but will not be applied to any other student or sibling.

Quiz grades must be a minimum of 80%.
