Since Texas State Law requires a young person to be sixteen years old AND to have held their Instruction Permit for six months.....NOW is the time to get your permit so you can have your Texas Provisional Driver's License and be driving by yourself by Summer 2010!


We are SO GRATEFUL to our students & parents who have made & continue to make us “THE” place for teen and adult driving lessons in Pearland and the surrounding areas!

When we opened SILVERLAKE DRIVING SCHOOL in August 2007, we knew that there was a great need for another kind of driving school in Pearland. We had a dream and we set some really lofty goals for our business and our students. We are excited to say that we have met and EXCEEDED the goals we set for ourselves! No other driving school in the area can match our record…...

  • Our cars have been on the road for over 20,000 hours in our two year history with NO traffic citations, NO police stops, and NO at-fault accidents!
  • There has never been a complaint filed with or a fine levied against us by our governing agency, The Texas Education Agency!
  • We have assembled a team of instructors that far exceeds our expectations and those of our students. Our whole staff, even our office staff, is licensed by the State of Texas, trained in all the most current teaching techniques and they update their training annually. Teaching someone to drive takes compassion, patience, and, many times, a sense of humor. You have to love what you do and be enthusiastic! With many hours of in-car teaching experience, our instructors do NOT raise their voices, sleep, or run personal errands on our students’ time in the cars. No one on our staff has a criminal history of any kind. Talk with any of our instructors and you will quickly determine how qualified and dedicated they are to teaching others to drive.
  • Our curriculum is comprehensive and presented in an engaging style to capture the interest of our students. We cover many topics including road rules/signs, sharing the road, insurance, vehicle ownership and maintenance, how drugs/alcohol affect the driving task, and include many defensive driving tips and techniques in our discussions. We chart our students’ progress by testing and progress reports.
  • Our facility is bright, open, inviting and clean…..a great learning environment. Our kids enjoy being with us and often come back to visit after completing our classes. Our instruction vehicles are clean, well-maintained and large enough to protect your students while they are in our cars. All cars have front and side airbags. Insurance coverage on our vehicles far exceeds minimum standards set by the State of Texas.
  • We do what we say we will do! We go above and beyond to meet the needs of our students and their parents! Just ask anyone who has experienced our school. Our students come to us from over fifty (50) public and private high schools near and far and we have many home-schooled students.
  • We financially support many local school activities including Dawson Eagles Football, Pearland Oiler Football, Dawson Diamond Dancers, Pearland Girls’ Softball, Boy Scout Troop #414, Eagle Fest, and many other worthwhile community projects.
  • Each student has a personal experience with us. We care that our students receive our best and each one of our students knows that we care. This is a full-time endeavor for us…not a part-time business. We are the original owners. Other driving schools have changed owners two-three times. There is an owner on site during open hours and your student is never left unsupervised. Our business is guided by Christian principles.

Centrally located in Pearland at 5402 Broadway in the Dollar Tree Center and across from Jameson Middle School (view map), Silverlake Driving School offers a fun and comfortable learning environment for your student. In addition to teen driver education, we also offer a Drug & Alcohol Driving Awareness Program (which affords you an additional 5% discount on your student's insurance), and adult driving instruction

Our Teen Drivers Education Course consists of thirty-two (32) hours of classroom instruction including lecture, discussion, video presentations and guest speakers. Your student will be eligible to take the written test at any DPS office to obtain their instructional permit after the third day of class.  Our in-car instruction begins after the permit has been issued and your student can also begin driving with any licensed driver twenty-one years or older in the front seat.  The instructional permit must be held for six months and until the student driver reaches the age of sixteen.

Our Adult Driving Program offers one-on-one in-car instruction at $45.00 per hour with a two-hour minimum.  You must have your instructional permit before driving can begin.

Insurance
The high cost of auto insurance is a concern for all parents of new drivers. Successful completion of our state-certified teen driver education course offers a 10% discount on your teen’s insurance premium. We have chosen to include a six-hour approved Drug & Alcohol Driving Awareness Program in our standard curriculum because we strongly feel that each new teen driver needs this information. All of our students receive this instruction and may purchase a Certificate of Completion for the six hours we spend learning about the risks of driving while under the influence of alcohol or any type of drug, even simple over-the-counter products. The certificate is $20.00 and will offer an ADDITIONAL 5% discount on your teen’s insurance premium. Again, ALL of our students receive the DADAP program whether you chose to purchase the Completion Certificate or not. Many large insurance companies are offering other discount programs for new drivers (STEER CLEAR offered by State Farm and TEEN SMART offered by Allstate). Some large companies also offer discounts for academic achievement. Please check with your personal insurance agent to learn what discounts might be available to you and learn how the discounts will affect your premium costs when your teen begins to drive.

Please call us at 281-485-2811 with any questions regarding the training we offer. Our telephone is answered twenty-four (24) hours a day by a live person.  You will never find yourself wandering through a recorded answering system.  Silverlake Driving School is open from 12 Noon until 8 pm each weekday and from 10 - 2 pm on Saturdays!  We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards.

WE BEAT OUR COMPETITION BECAUSE WE DO THE THINGS THAT OTHERS DON’T, CAN’T or WON’T DO!

Parent Testimonial I sent my 16 year old daughter to the Silverlake Driving School after researching all my options and praying for direction.  What becomes evident immediately when your child attends this driving school is that Patty and her husband are not just interested in teaching your children how to drive, they are interested in them as people.  Their love of the kids entrusted to them is obvious from the minute the kids walk through the door until well after they have finished the school.  My daughter still talks about how much she learned at the school and how interesting, fun and relevant the teaching was. I think the lessons my daughter learned at the school had a much greater impact than any conversation I could have had with her or teaching that I could have done, from the virtual glasses that showed her how impaired a driver becomes under the influence of alcohol to how to finance a car and every aspect in between, the Reese's left no stone uncovered. They have certainly set a firm foundation for driving in the life of my daughter. Putting your child behind the wheel of a car is a frightening thought, but I have every confidence that my daughter has been given the right tools to be a safe driver. This school was indeed an answer to prayer. (Sandi Knight)
