Certified, Trusted, and Respected Since 2006

Mount Pleasant Driving School has been certified by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) since 2006 to provide professional driver training. In 2012, when the DMV launched its pilot testing program, we were honored to be one of the first driving schools in the state authorized to administer official road tests.

We're also AAA-approved, and our owner received her driver education certification through Erskine College, ensuring that every student receives instruction grounded in safety, professionalism, and educational excellence.

As a female-owned and veteran-owned business, we're proud to bring diverse perspectives, leadership, and a commitment to community values to everything we do.

Safe, Modern Vehicles with Advanced Safety Features

Our students learn in modern, well-maintained vehicles equipped with the latest safety technology, including:

  • 🚗 Dual brake systems allowing instructors to take control instantly if needed
  • 🪞 Extra mirrors for enhanced visibility and awareness
  • 🧯 Regular safety inspections and maintenance exceeding state and AAA standards

These features ensure that every student learns in a secure, controlled, and confidence-building environment.

A Supportive, No-Intimidation Learning Environment

Learning to drive should be a positive and empowering experience, not a stressful one. Our instructors teach in a relaxed, friendly, and no-intimidation atmosphere, helping students build confidence behind the wheel at their own pace. We focus on encouragement, patience, and communication, creating a learning experience that's effective, enjoyable, and anxiety-free.

Inclusive and Neurodiversity-Friendly Instruction

We're proud to specialize in driver education for all learners, including neurodiverse students. Our instructors are experienced in working with individuals with ADD, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and PTSD, providing customized lessons that match each student's learning style, comfort level, and pace. Our goal is to ensure that every student feels safe, understood, and capable throughout their learning journey.

Flexible Scheduling and Virtual Learning Options

We offer virtual classroom sessions as well as in-person instruction, giving students the freedom to complete classroom portions online before moving to behind-the-wheel lessons.

With after-school and weekend availability, we make it easy for teens, adults, and working professionals to fit driver education into their schedules.
