To Book an appointment with us go to Booking — Mrs. Ruth's Eagle River Driving School, llc.
*Note:
ERDS instructs behind-the-wheel drives and lectures over a one-month period. All students must attend all six (6) lectures scheduled in their enrollment month.
Other driving schools can complete driver’s education programs in as little as five (5) days, but we at ERDS believe that participation in a driver’s education program is a team effort. ERDS will lay the foundation of lifelong driving skills while parents and students practice and reinforce good driving habits.
Our general goal is to have students completed before the end of the one-month program, but there are always exceptions. You may contact the front desk for further information at (907) 696-2886.
