American Driving Academy of Monterey

American Driving Academy of Monterey is a driving school in Monterey, California. It offers state-approved driver education, behind-the-wheel training, DMV test service, and motorcycle permit courses. Instruction is available in English, Spanish, Korean, and Arabic. The school has 33 years in business, has produced more than 10,000 licensed graduates, and serves eight counties across Southern California and the Bay Area. It holds a rating of 5.00 from the customers who have reviewed it. The driver education course is a three-hour state-approved class that prepares students for the DMV written permit test. The DMV test service includes pick-up one hour before the scheduled test, a four-hour refresher covering what the DMV tests for, and accompaniment to the exam in the school's car. A motorcycle permit course prepares riders for the M1 permit. Pick-up and drop-off are included within 35 miles of the Monterey office, and scheduling is available on weekdays and weekends. Instructors are DMV-certified, and the curriculum is state-approved and updated to reflect current DMV requirements. Lessons emphasize defensive driving rather than test preparation alone, and students are taught at a pace that builds confidence. The office sits on Pacific Street in Monterey, steps from the Merritt House historic building and about a tenth of a mile from Monterey State Historic Park, Casa Soberanes, and the Alvarado Gallery. West Franklin Street and Del Monte Avenue are both within a short walk. The school's 5.00 rating reflects the experience of the drivers it has helped license, and its 33 years of instruction have added generations of drivers to California's roads.
