Pass the Knowledge Test & Earn the Instruction Permit

Behind-the-Wheel (6 Hours)
One-on-one drive time with a licensed instructor on real Inver Grove Heights roads — including the high-speed merging and exiting that Highway 52 demands.
Supervised Practice (50+ Hours)
Your teen logs supervised hours with a parent. We give you the tools to make that practice count.
The Road Test
The Eagan exam station (just minutes away on Cliff Road) is typically the closest, with Hastings and other sites within about a half hour. We make sure your teen walks in ready — wherever they test.
Right here in your community
We serve families all over Inver Grove Heights (55076 & 55077). The city is split across a few different school districts, so wherever your teen goes — around Simley High School, Inver Grove Heights Middle School, or anywhere else in town — we build a schedule around school, sports, and family life.
We teach on the roads your teen actually drives — from the neighborhoods off Cahill Avenue and 80th Street to Concord Boulevard to real highway confidence on Highway 52.
Local driving tips for Inver Grove Heights families
We teach on the roads your teen actually drives — here's a little of what we cover close to home.
Our Roads
Highway 52, Concord Boulevard, Cahill Avenue, 80th Street, and Argenta Trail — plus Highway 55 toward the river. Your teen learns to drive where they live.
Highway 52 at Speed
Highway 52 runs right through Inver Grove Heights as a fast, divided highway. Merging on and exiting safely — judging gaps and picking the right lane early — is a real skill, and one we teach with confidence.
The Habits That Keep Teens Safe
Minnesota's most common crash factors are distraction, speed, and skipping the seat belt — and for a new driver the real fix is scanning ahead. We drill all of it, every lesson.
Confidence Before Traffic
Calm, supervised practice in quiet areas builds the basics first, so busier roads like Concord Boulevard and Highway 52 feel manageable when your teen gets there.
