Student Conduct

Students are expected to follow Athens Bible School’s code of conduct and dress guidelines during classroom and driving sessions. Respect for instructors, classmates, and other road users is essential.

Safety First

Our instructors emphasize safe driving habits and a defensive mindset. Vehicles used for instruction are maintained for safety, and students are taught pre‑drive safety checks before each session.

Do I need a learner permit to enroll?
A learner permit may be required for the behind-the-wheel portion of the course. Please check with the school office to confirm current requirements at registration.

Does completing the course waive the road test?
State policies can change from year to year. In some years, successful completion of the driving portion has qualified students for a road-test waiver. Please verify the current policy with the school office.

What is the cost of the course?
Tuition and payment options are set annually and may vary. The registration packet will include the current fee schedule.

How are driving times scheduled?
Once classroom sessions are complete, students will sign up for small-group driving appointments. Because availability is limited, students are asked to keep their selected times.

What should students bring to class?
Students should bring a photo ID (if available), a notebook, pen or pencil, and a packed lunch. Closed-toe shoes are required for driving sessions.

Is the course open to non-ABS students?
When space allows, students from the community may be able to enroll. Please check with the school office about eligibility for the current year.
