Horizons Driving AcademyFAQ's
Horizons Driving Academy is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Horizons Driving Academy is a licensed school in Kansas?

We suggest you contact Horizons Driving Academy directly or the Kansas DMV to find out if Horizons Driving Academy is a fully-accredited driving school.
Will the Kansas DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
Possibly. Some states will allow your parents to supervise your driving practice as a substitute to taking a behind-the-wheel driving course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Kansas DMV to find out if your behind-the-wheel driving may be done by your parents in Kansas.
Do I need to tell Horizons Driving Academy that I need to train with an automatic-shift car? I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift car! We recommend that you ask Horizons Driving Academy if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift automobile before you sign up to take their driver training course.
I live in a remote area, that has a lot of dirt roads and rugged terrain. Will Horizons Driving Academy train me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?

I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a learner's permit to drive in Kansas after my 14th birthday?

Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the Kansas DMV office or a Kansas-certified driving school such as Horizons Driving Academy to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Do I have to take a Salina Kansas classroom or online drivers education course before I can enroll in a behind-the-wheel training course through Horizons Driving Academy?
