About Us

The Driving Center is located at 1811 University Blvd. near Anderson University . We are approximately one block west of the intersection of highway 32 and Scatterfield Road . We are in a safe, convenient location.

We are set up and ready to help new students and mature drivers of central Indiana prepare for driving or to fine tune their driving skills. Our enterprise will prepare a student driver for the proper, lawful use of a motor vehicle and provide the necessary classroom instruction and road experience sanctioned by the state of Indiana . Our instruction has been updated, and we have collaborated with Indiana Central Service Center for online classroom instruction with drives being done through us at The Driving Center.

Our instructors combine many years of experience teaching in area public schools. Outside of our State of Indiana educational endorsement in drivers training, we are teachers of health, physical education, science, English, and academic counseling.

Our staff also brings together experience in accounting, office management, business management, computer technology, and school office personal.

Our office and instruction atmosphere is friendly, helpful, and professional. We are dedicated to the youth of our community and believe in them as our future leaders.
