Step one: the classroom

Any state-approved classroom works with us.

Some Farmington 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.

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.

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 Farmington High schedule

School hours

Farmington High runs 8:10 a.m. to 2:55 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

Flagstaff Avenue, County Road 64, Pilot Knob, Cedar Avenue and Highway 3. We teach on the roads your student drives to school and back.

The road test

Farmington teens take the road test at the Eagan – South Metro Exam Station on Cliff Road, about 20 minutes from Farmington High without traffic. Add a mock road test so test day holds no surprises.

After the license

Driving to Farmington High: student parking

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

Farmington High School parking

  • A permit is required in the East and upper West lots: $250 a year, prorated to $30 a month starting October 1.
  • Daily permits are $5 at the second-floor East desk.
  • The North lot, west of the baseball and softball fields, is free.
  • Students and parents both sign the parking regulations agreement.

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.
