ABOUT US
OUR COURSE CURRICULUM
Skyline Driving School’s comprehensive course offers an approach that prioritizes safe and defensive driving, as well as the in-depth instruction necessary for our students to drive at the highest possible level. Course material is assisted by Drive Right 10th Edition as well as the official North Carolina Driver Handbook. These resources provide valuable insight and resources to guide our students through the beginning of their driving careers.
However, we understand that learning how to drive isn’t something that can be through black-and-white rules from a textbook. That’s why our course instruction involves numerous detailed examples and scenarios, videos and diagrams, and explanations that include nuanced topics. We are confident that Skyline Driving School offers the highest level of driver’s education possible to ensure our students can safely navigate our state’s capital, and anywhere else the roads may take them…
