Milwaukee Public Schools and Milwaukee Recreation offer driver education programs in the summer, fall, and winter/spring seasons. This is a certified program to help students receive their temporary permits.
Multiple options are available, including MPS Drive (for age-eligible MPS students only) and Community-Based Driver Education (for all age-eligible community members). Please see below for additional details regarding each program, as well as the three avenues to participate in each class: in-person, online, or hybrid.
Currently enrolled in an MPS school (click here for a list of schools that qualify for MPS Drive).
At least 15 years by the beginning of class start date and not older than 17.5 by the last day of class
All MPS students are already in the system for MPS Drive. Click here to find step-by-step MPS Drive registration instructions. To access your account:
See details about the in-person, online, & hybrid sessions below.
Students enrolled in MPS Drive that are unable to attend and call to cancel their registration BEFORE their scheduled orientation date will be given a full refund. Students calling to cancel registration after orientation will not be refunded.
Students enrolled in MPS Drive that do not cancel their registration, but NEVER ATTEND class will be dropped after the third day of the session. They will forfeit the $35 registration fee and may re-enroll in the program one additional time for a fee of $35.
Students who attend at least one class and are dropped for any reason after classes begin will forfeit the $35 registration fee and will be charged the re-enrollment fee of $190 if they wish to enroll in the program at a later date.
