At Eastview through Safety Education, or online with us any time. Keep the classroom completion letter. It's what you send us.
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 Eastview schedule
School hours
Eastview runs 7:40 a.m. to 2:30 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
140th Street, Cedar Avenue, Pilot Knob, County Road 42 and Cliff Road. We teach on the roads your student drives to school and back.
The road test
Eastview teens take the road test at the Eagan – South Metro Exam Station on Cliff Road, about 9 minutes from school without traffic. Add a mock road test so test day holds no surprises.
Driving to Eastview: student parking
The goal for most teens isn't just the license. It's driving themselves to school. Here's what Eastview High School says about student parking.
Eastview High School parking
- Permits are optional. Permit holders park in the two west student lots.
- $120 a semester or $240 a year, or $5 for a single day.
- Juniors and seniors buy first (late July), then sophomores (mid-August).
- There's free parking in the lot near the tennis courts, south of the school.
- Fees and fines must be paid first. Violations carry a $20 fine and possible tow.
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.

Eastview driver's ed FAQ
Can my student take behind-the-wheel through Eastview?

The classroom completion letter. Send it when you enroll, and once payment is in, we issue the E-Card (Blue Card) for the permit test, usually overnight.
Does my Eastview student need a parking permit?
Permits are optional at Eastview. There's free parking near the tennis courts, and permits for the west lots are $120 a semester for 2026-27. Confirm current rules with the school.

$438 for six hours of behind-the-wheel, including the Blue Card. Our online classroom is $99, or get both for $499. A payment plan of two $220 payments is available for the six hours.
