Lessons that fit the Lakeville South schedule
School hours
Lakeville South runs 8:00 a.m. to 2:40 p.m., with an optional early-bird period at 7:05. On two-hour late-start days, a morning lesson can fit before school. Our lessons run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., depending on the instructor.
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
210th Street (County Road 70), Kenrick Avenue, Kensington Boulevard and I-35. Freeway driving is part of everyday life in Lakeville, so we build up to it once the basics are solid.
The road test
Lakeville teens take the road test at the Eagan – South Metro Exam Station on Cliff Road, about 19 minutes from Lakeville South without traffic, mostly on I-35. Add a mock road test so test day holds no surprises.
Driving to Lakeville South: student parking
The goal for most teens isn't just the license. It's driving themselves to school. Here's what Lakeville South High School says about student parking.
Lakeville South High School parking
- Year-long and semester permits are sold in the Infinite Campus School Store. The price shows at checkout.
- Prices are reduced for families who qualify for free or reduced-price meals.
- Pick up permits in Room B176 at lunch.
- Parking rules are in the Lakeville South Student Handbook.
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.
