BHM Community Education offers classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel instruction year-round. Classroom offerings include: Fall A (Sept-Oct), Fall B (Oct-Nov), Winter (Jan-Feb), Spring A (Feb-March), Spring B (April-May) and many sections throughout June and July in the summer. During the school year, classroom is offered right after school (3:35-6:35 pm) 2-days a week for 5-weeks. During the summer, class times include mornings, afternoons and evenings, M-F for 2-weeks.

It is recommended students are age 15 by the last day of classroom instruction, or shortly thereafter, as this is the age the student needs to be to take the Written Knowledge Test.

The fee includes 30 hours of classroom instruction AND 6 hours of behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction with a licensed teacher. BTW instruction is typically scheduled one-hour each month for six months. Once you have your Instructional Permit, do not wait to be assigned to a BTW instructor so you can schedule your first BTW session.

Driver’s Education is not funded by the State of Minnesota, therefore, all costs must be incurred by the family upon registering. (No discounts or scholarships are available for the driver education program.)

Fall A 2024 Make-Up Session: One make-up session is scheduled for Thursday, October 10, 3:35-6:35 pm, at Buffalo High School. Tardies and/or absence from one class need to be made-up. Students needing more than 3-hours of make-up time will be withdrawn and the student will retake the full 30 hours of classroom instruction and pay the $125 classroom fee. Please check for schedule conflicts prior to registration.
