Fantastic experience: GL did an amazing job for our son’s segment 1 classes. We appreciated being able to easily schedule drives and excellent communication from the program. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great driving school, highly recommend. Both my kids went through this program
Fantastic experience: My son did segment 2 and one on one driving, my daughter just completed her segment 1. They are all wonderful instructors and make the kids feel confident in their driving as they learn. We had a bad experience with another company with my son and Mr. Hesske helped build my sons confidence back during their drives together . Even as nervous as my daughter was they were very patient with her and understood the pace she needed to start. Would recommend them to anyone and already have!
We are so happy they both had a good experience! Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: My son loved his experience with Great Lakes Driving Academy! The instructors and staff are all great and helped us get everything set up in a smooth and easy manor.

Thank you! We are so happy she had a great experience! Stay safe out there!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Great Lakes Driving Academy. The staff is very friendly and helpful! After one of my daughters’ drives the staff walked over to my car to tell me how she was doing. Information was shared in an easy to follow format and in a timely manner.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had a great experience, with caring, qualified, and fun instructors.
Fantastic experience: Great Lakes Driving Academy was a great driving school and very organized.
Fantastic experience: I don’t have another driving Academy to compare Great Lakes to, but I do know that our experience here was well worth the money. My daughter came out happy every time and she learned so much that she was telling me how to drive lol. so we will be back for segment two. Thank you Jen and Mike.
 Thank you! We enjoyed having her! See you soon
Fantastic experience: The staff was wonderful and our son had a great experience. Would highly recommend!
Thank you for the positive feedback! We enjoyed having him and hope to see you back for Segment II!
Fantastic experience: My Son had a wonderful experience inside the classroom as well as his driving time with his instructor. I would highly recommend Great Lakes Driving Academy. We will definitely use them for Segment 2 as well!
Thank you for the positive feedback! We enjoyed having him in class!
Fantastic experience: Great Lakes Driving Academy really is wonderful!! This school is run by a husband and wife team; Michael and Jennifer. They have teenagers of their own, so they understand and work really well with them. We have 2 kids that have now gone through Segment I with them and we all had a really great experience!! My kids were sad to have their Segment I classes end, they really enjoyed Mr. K’s sense of humor and his way of teaching. I can be overprotective with my kids often after loosing a 20 year old son in a horrific car accident years ago. Mike and Jennifer made me feel confident and at ease with my kids learning to drive. We will definitely be doing Segment II with them as soon as possible. Thanks again for being a really wonderful driving school and great people who really do care about the kids.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback! We enjoyed having both of them!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Great Lakes Driving Academy! My older son went through a local company and my younger daughter did Great Lakes Driving Academy. The communication with parents was far superior-especially when trying to organize the drives. Furthermore, hearing from both kids, their experiences were vastly different-and I attribute this to the fact that Great Lakes Driving Academy is run by two teachers! Finally, it was very helpful to have most of the drives back up to the classroom hours-this meant less driving for the parents.
Thank you for the positive feedback! We enjoyed having her in class!
Fantastic experience: Great Lakes Driving Academy was wonderful for my son. Communication was stellar and my son enjoyed the segment. Scheduling the drives was easy as well. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!
Thank you for the positive feedback! We enjoyed having him in class and hope to see you back for Segment II.
Fantastic experience: My daughter really enjoyed her classes and drive times with Great Lakes. The staff were professional and effective while mixing in some fun. Most kids find drivers training boring but my daughter came home every day happy and excited to go back. She passed her test on the first attempt and having driven with her a bit now she seems comfortable behind the wheel thanks to this team. I’d highly recommend Great Lakes for driving instruction.
Thank you for the positive feedback! We enjoyed having her in class! Hope to see you soon for Segment II.
Fantastic experience: So pleased with the entire Segment 1 experience! Jenn was so personable and very quick to communicate with me on my questions. I felt my daughter was in a safe and healthy learning environment. Will be telling all my friends to use Great Lakes for their future Drivers Ed needs.
