Learn to drive safely with experienced instructors at Apex Drivers School, a leading Charleston SC driving school offering comprehensive driving lessons.
For inquiries about our driving lessons at Apex Drivers School, please reach out to us at info@apexdriverschool.org, your trusted Charleston SC driving school.
At Apex Drivers School, we are dedicated to providing high-quality driving instruction throughout the Greater Charleston area. Our program is led by a retired U.S. Army Military Police veteran with over twenty years of service as a municipal police officer in South Carolina and three years of experience as a certified driving instructor. With this unique background, we bring both professionalism and real-world expertise to every lesson. We also understand that every student learns differently, so we offer flexible scheduling—whether you prefer fast-paced sessions or a slower, more relaxed approach, we’ll tailor the training to meet your needs.
Minimum requirement for licensing drivers under 17 years old: (8) hours classroom and (6) hours behind-the-wheel training. Convenient home pick-up and drop-off*.
Everything included in the Teen Basic Driving Course with an additional (2) hours behind-the-wheel lesson for confidence and experience.
(8) hours classroom instruction and (6) hours behind-the-wheel training. All instruction is in English. For safety, particularly during behind-the-wheel lessons, proficiency in reading and speaking English is required.
We are a new school and have applied to the SC DMV for this service. At this time we cannot provide third party testing.
Because of heavy traffic during certain periods, some days and times may be unavailable for this service. Our pickup and drop-off service is currently offered within the Charleston city limits, western Mount Pleasant, and southern North Charleston. For students outside these areas, convenient meeting locations (SC DMV Offices) can be arranged at flexible times.
Please reach us at info@apexdriversschool.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.
We are share-leasing a modern classroom at a private school on James Island.
Our driving school uses a late model Toyota Camry, that is equipped with dual brakes and mirrors for your safety. There is a washable cover on the driver's seat. The vehicle is sanitized after each lesson.
No, you do not need to have a learner's permit before enrolling in driving lessons with Apex Drivers School.
If you've met the permit requirements set by the SC DMV, you will be eligible to test for your license. We'll provide all the necessary forms for U.S. citizens. Foreign students will be provided a checklist for DMV forms.
Not at this time. We are a new school and have applied to the SC DMV for this certification. Until then, students must hire a third party test service, or use the free test at a SC DMV office.
See our refund policy page. All paid fees are held in an internal segregated account until all lessons are complete. Apex Drivers School is bonded as required by the SC DMV.
Availability depends on your location, the day of the week, and the time of your lesson. Certain areas—such as John’s Island, northern West Ashley, eastern Mount Pleasant, and northern Charleston County—are difficult to access during most weekday afternoons. Within the city limits of Charleston, western Mount Pleasant, and southern North Charleston, we offer convenient home pickup and drop-off, or we can meet at another agreed-upon location. For students outside these areas, lessons typically begin and end at either the North Charleston DMV or the Mount Pleasant DMV.
Once again, availability depends on your location, the day of the week, and the time of your lesson. Areas such as John’s Island, northern West Ashley, eastern Mount Pleasant, and northern Charleston County are not practical for driving instruction at times because of heavy traffic congestion. Sitting in gridlock doesn’t provide valuable learning time, and our goal is to maximize every minute behind the wheel. We generally schedule lessons from Sunday through Thursday but can make exceptions when needed.
Lessons can be completed in as little as one week. It depends on how flexible the student is with time.
For the protection of the school and students, the training vehicle is equipped with a (3) channel video and audio camera system (front, rear and cabin facing cameras). The recording file is held for (4) weeks unless necessary for legal investigations. No video is released to the public, or used for training at any time.
