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 Simley schedule
School hours
Simley runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. Our lessons run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., depending on the instructor, so a morning lesson before school, after school, evenings and weekends can all work.
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
80th Street (County Road 28), Barnes Avenue, Highway 55, Lone Oak Road and I-35E. We teach on the roads your student drives to school and back.
The road test
Inver Grove Heights teens take the road test at the Eagan – South Metro Exam Station on Cliff Road, about 18 minutes from Simley without traffic. Add a mock road test so test day holds no surprises.
Driving to Simley: student parking
The goal for most teens isn't just the license. It's driving themselves to school. Here's what Simley High School says about student parking.
Simley High School parking
Simley doesn't publish student parking details online. Check with the Simley main office about permits before your teen's first drive to school.
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.
