Why GWHS Families Trust Us
Over 25 years of Colorado drivers ed has taught us that every learner is different — and the right pace matters as much as the curriculum. Our instructors calibrate to your Patriot, not the other way around, and stick with real skill-building long past what it takes to pass a test.

Your Path from GWHS Patriot to Colorado Driver
Colorado uses a Graduated Driver Licensing system — here’s how every step lines up, and where American Driving Academy fits in.
Age 14 ½ — Start the 30-Hour Course
Begin Colorado’s required drivers education course. Take it online at home ($29.85) or in-person at our Southeast Denver classroom ($150) on weekends and school breaks.
Pass the Permit Knowledge Test
Once the course is done, sit the permit test at our office. ADA is an authorized testing site — skip the DMV line.
Age 15 — Pick Up Your Permit
Visit the DMV with a parent or guardian and your test results to receive your Colorado instruction permit.
Start Behind-the-Wheel Lessons
With your permit in hand, begin lessons with a certified ADA instructor. Students under 16 ½ need at least 6 professional hours.
Hold the Permit 12 Months
Colorado requires a 12-month permit hold (if under 18) before the license test. Use the year to stack up practice miles with a parent.
Pass the License Road Test — $85
Road test with us: about 20 minutes on familiar streets, no parallel parking, no highway driving. Pass and walk out a licensed Colorado driver.
Lessons That Actually Build Confidence
Behind-the-wheel isn’t just about passing a test. Your student rides with a calm, patient instructor through real Denver traffic, highway merges, weather driving, and the detail work parents often don’t have time for.
- One-on-one with a certified instructor
- Neighborhood, highway, and parking practice
- Road-test route familiarity
- Lessons 7 days a week
- Pick-up & drop-off available
