I meant to write this review about a year ago, but I forgot until now!…read more I'm 40 years old, and I never had a driver's license until I went through North County Driving School. I don't know if Marcus is still around, but he was an excellent instructor! Very patient, friendly, fun, professional, and knowledgeable. I failed my first try because I made a dumb mistake, but rescheduling was easy-peasy with this team, and I got my license on my second attempt a couple of months later. I never met Bruce, but I spoke with him a few times over the phone, and he offered some great advice that ended up helping me out. I never really got to thank Bruce for how much his team helped me overcome one of the biggest hurdles of my life, but these guys are fantastic, and they'll work with you no matter what it takes! Thanks, Bruce & Marcus! EDIT: I forgot to mention that I initially scheduled with them just as COVID kicked off and the DMV shut down. Bruce let me reschedule after restrictions were lifted and didn't charge anything extra, even though I waited over a year to get the ball rolling again. Truly a professional and classy team!

CRAZY STORY... I couldn't recommend this place enough or more specifically Jim Gleason. You see in…read more2014 I had an AVM brain rupture and am considered mentally disabled . Well after not being able to drive for 3 years after my brain surgery i decided to give driving a shot with the "driving program" at a local hospital which turned out to be a SCAM because the "therapist" never even took me behind the wheel after a 6 month program (BEFORE THE DRIVE TEST). So at the time my parents helped me find this place , a place that would work with someone with a disability and it just so happened to turn out that Jim Gleason pulls up and we had a little reunion with my parents after literally not seeing Jim since I was like 17! I am 40 now. Anyway point here is that Jim is SO patient and motivating and more than that he's understanding . Just wanted to boast about this man because this is the 2nd time in a span of around 23 years that he helped me regain my freedom , confidence , a job and because of him I am able to drive to work church or where ever I need to be! THANK YOU JIM I'll never forget you. I came on here 9 YEARS later because someone on the SM community page is asking for recommendations for a good driving school and so I had to show some love. I'm SO appreciative! Picture was taken in 2017 when I passed my 2nd driving test (IN THE RAIN!) with the help of Jim Gleason at American Driving School.

Absolutely loves it at first! Everything was going well with my instructor for the 2 sessions…read more.. until the third lesson when I got stuck with a person named Margarita. This lady absolutely does not deserve to be an instructor. Strict, mean, slammed onto the brakes multiple times NONE of them being safety reasons. Just because she wanted to. Made me cry. Said things like "how are you even going to pass your test". Mind you my text was the following day. Making me even more nervous. And the funny thing is of course I passed my driving test at the dmv LOL. But what I want to say is if you are thinking of choosing this school. DONT.. My other friend also said that Margarita was a horrible person to be an instructor as well. Hope she gets removed from this facility.

My daughter is in her second year at Native School and we cannot say enough good things about it!…read moreUnfortunately there has been some bad publicity because a former employee (trying to steal students away to a competing school she was opening) fed parents misinformation that scared them, including launching a really personal attack against the amazing director, Shannon, who is an incredibly transparent and thoughtful preschool director. She hosts regular meetings for parents to talk to her and will also always be happy to hop on a meeting any afternoon to discuss any questions and concerns. The program itself stood out to me immediately for being a really good supportive model for development. The students are not playing "Lord of the Flies" out in the woods, they are guided and supported by amazing teachers who spend their afternoons writing documentation of the learning in their classrooms and designing emergent curriculum. We could not be happier with the school we chose and our daughter loves school passionately. We have even decided to keep her in Native School another year instead of moving to the free public TK because of how much we love the program and the teachers.

***Warning to parents*** My experience with the teachers…read morewas generally good but you could tell there was a disconnect between them and upper management due to the high turnover rate and disruption in teacher continuity. The frequent and disruptive staff changes significantly effected my 4 year old son who was upset to see teachers come and go. At the end of our semester for 2024-2025 it became worse and substitutes/new faces were very common. We were told by some teachers that quit that safety regs/guidelines were not being followed(especially on rainy/stormy days). All that being said, we decided to pull our child out from the Fall 2025 semester. We had already paid for it but we figured we would be returned our reservation money due to the circumstances. Management refused our first attempt to reimburse us even after my child's spot was filled(Bad business etiquette). So here we are with our reviews and our next steps will be small claims. In the contract it states that they will maintain a consistent and properly staffed program...That was not our experience.
