From the owner: The Differentiation…read more What separates Circle City Driving Academy from other driving schools is our commitment to incorporate mindfulness driving during the in-vehicle experience. Driving can be an incredibly stressful activity, but it can also be a tremendous opportunity to develop mindfulness. What this means for our students – When students drive motor vehicles, they usually experience tensions in the body, such as: (1) a knot in the belly, (2) hands that grip the steering wheel tightly, (3) a clenched jaw or (4) other related tensions that can prohibit effective driving. When students notice and can effectively address these experiences, it allows the body to relax to ensure a positive driving experience. We have an advanced, virtual classroom program that incorporates videos and other pertinent training materials that keeps our students engaged while completing their 30 hours of classroom training. The course is facilitated by experienced and knowledgeable instructors who are there to ensure students have the information they need to be a legal and safe driver.

First, I hardly write bad reviews. But, I would not want future students experience what I had with…read morethis instructor, Monte Synder, under the business name of "International Drivers Training" and "Milestone." He never came on time for driving appointments. He always counted the time I had to wait in his one-hour driving lessons. Let's say our appointment was 10:00. If he was late for 20 minutes, we actually happened to start at 10:21. But, he ended the lesson at 11:00 and charged me $50 for the whole hour. It happened about 8 times out of 10 times. He kept doing that until I complained on the 18th lesson. He will give you bait--something like he will show you the test driving route DMV uses. But, it never happened until the last lesson which is the 40th hour. No plan of how many lessons he will give students. 100% most likely, you will end up taking 50+ hours, if you do not know how to drive at all. So, have $2500 ready for him. He took you to the country roads in about over 25 hours which is unacceptable. Even though I said I got driving in country roads, he kept taking me there. That limited me to improve my different driving skills. I think he tried to get lots of money from me as much as he can. We once had his old blue car engine stopped running in the middle of the road on the 2nd of 3rd lessons. He told me he will buy a new car next month. It did not happen. I lost 30 minutes of my one hour lesson which is $25. He never made up for it. Too bad I did not complain for it. Beware that he will take advantage on your silence of his lateness, and his irresponsible driving training. So, complain a lot if you happen to take his lessons.

This school used to live up to it's claims of meeting the child where they are, educating the whole…read morechild, fostering their individuality, etc. In the past few years I have experienced a tremendous decline in their ability to hold true to this, sadly. I give it an average star rating because these days is just a costly version of any typical, yet capable public school with the addition of arrogance in their approach.

All three of our children attended The Orchard School. We are very pleased with the education they…read morereceived and so are they. I've often tried to sift through all our years and determine what they most learned/received at Orchard and if I had to pick one attribute (and there are many), I'd pick confidence. They are all confident public speakers. For example, when my daughter was a junior in high school, she won an award that required her to speak at a dinner with over 400 people present. I tried several times to get her to practice and review her speech in advance, knowing that the previous recipient had a professional speech writer. In frustration, one evening she said, "Mom, I went to Orchard. Don't worry." She delivered a flawless speech without notes. They are all confident about their ability to learn. Orchard likes to say they help create lifelong learners and they do. Each of our children knows how to learn and they like to learn. They are all confident expressing themselves to anyone. In high school, their teachers observed that unlike many shy teens they were not afraid to ask questions and advocate for themselves or for others. And, this has continued throughout their college and post-graduate years. Orchard invites and teaches children how to respectfully approach adults. At Orchard, education is not just about science, English, history, etc. While these are important, it's also about helping develop good people and preparing them for the future.
