Jenks Community Education has been providing drivers education to the Jenks community for over 30 years. However, they have now expanded their opportunities and are now offering drivers tests on-site at Jenks Community Ed. Their new motto, “Skip the Line,” encapsulates the full service experience they now supply. Mike Gaines, a Jenks High School teacher and driving instructor with Jenks Community Ed., says the new motto was his own handiwork. 

“That's my trademark,” said Gaines, “we want you to skip the line”. 

The Jenks Community Ed. Drivers Education is committed to providing high quality lessons to their students. Not only do they provide the classes needed to get your certificate of drivers education but they also provide you with a practice prep course right before your drivers test. Gaines says he has had very high success with this method.

Gaines said “it's been really good [for his students]”. 

Students also agree that the driver’s education program at Jenks Community Ed is a high-quality program where students are set up for success. 

Sterling Todd (12) says that she would highly recommend taking drivers education at Jenks as her courses left her feeling confident in her driving skills and prepared for her test. 

“They’re really good at making sure you’re driving on all different types of roads,” said Todd, “all different types of roads and areas”. 

These drivers lessons and prep courses are only the precursor for the important stuff. The course is the perfect preparation for the drivers test as they take you through exactly what you need to know for the test. The addition of driver tests to the array of opportunities Jenks Community Ed. offers, makes them a standout driving school to their competitors. 

Gaines said they “thought it would be a good idea to be a full service drivers program”.

That's exactly what they are. Each step of the drivers education process is completely covered by Jenks Community Education - and? It's easy. This year, classes are offered November 3rd-21st and February 2nd-20th and meet before school from 7:15-8:45. To conveniently add on a drivers test, simply choose the “Ready, Set, Drive” option when checking out.
