The Shaker High Driver Education Program serves approximately 220 students each school year, and the course is offered during the fall, spring and summer terms. Students are enrolled on a first-come-first-serve basis by class, beginning with seniors. The course is open to all North Colonie students age 16 and up; non-North Colonie students are accepted only if openings remain. The course consists of 24 hours of classroom instruction and 24 hours of in-car instruction. The cost of the class is $350. Upon completion, students receive both the five-hour certificate and the MV285 certificate used for insurance reduction and license upgrade. One weekday and two Saturday morning classes are offered in the fall and spring terms. Summer classes are offered weekday mornings on an alternating day basis. Students may register by completing an application found in the main office on the dates noted below.
