Step one: the classroom

Any state-approved classroom works with us.

Some Burnsville students take the 30-hour classroom through Community Education; others take it online. Either way works with us: send the completion letter when you enroll in behind-the-wheel. Or start today with our state-approved online classroom for $99, or get the classroom and six hours together for $499.

Finish the 30-hour classroom

Through Community Education, online with us, or any state-approved program. Keep the completion letter. It's what you send us.

2

Enroll and get the Blue Card

Enroll in our six hours of behind-the-wheel. We enter your student in the state system and issue the E-Card (Blue Card), usually overnight and always within 48 hours of payment and the classroom being done.

Pass the permit test

Your student takes the Knowledge Test with the Blue Card. Study free with NorthStarDE.com, our Minnesota permit-practice app.

Six hours behind the wheel

Permit in hand, we schedule the six one-on-one hours around your family. Then your student holds the permit at least six months and logs 50 supervised hours (15 at night) before the road test.

Lessons that fit the Burnsville High schedule

School hours

Burnsville High runs 8:00 a.m. to 2:36 p.m. Our lessons run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., depending on the instructor, so after school, evenings and weekends all work around classes, practices and jobs.

Pickup or meet at school

Pickup is included across our normal service area, and many families simply meet the instructor at school. For some addresses there may be a small per-lesson charge, so text us yours and we'll give you an exact answer.

Roads your student already knows

Portland Avenue, Highway 13, County Road 42, Burnsville Parkway and the I-35W/I-35E split. We teach on the roads your student drives to school and back.

The road test

Burnsville teens take the road test at the Eagan – South Metro Exam Station on Cliff Road, about 7 minutes from Burnsville High without traffic. Add a mock road test so test day holds no surprises.

After the license

Driving to Burnsville High: student parking

The goal for most teens isn't just the license. It's driving themselves to school. Here's what Burnsville High School says about student parking.

Burnsville High School parking

  • Registration is required for every student who drives to school, and it's renewed each year.
  • $100 a year or $50 a semester.
  • Students must be licensed and insured before registering.
  • The fee is waived for students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Plan backward from the parking lot

A student under 18 must hold the permit at least six months and be 16 before the road test. If your teen wants to drive to school by a certain trimester or semester, start the classroom and the Blue Card early enough to get there.

Text us your target date and we'll map out the timing.

Parking details come from the school's own published information as of November 2026 and can change. Always confirm with the school.
