Driver’s Ed that fits your schedule.
At The Next Street, learning to drive works around your life—not the other way around.
With daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday classes, plus 8-hour and 30-hour programs starting daily, you can take lessons or classes whenever it works for your schedule.
Miss a session? Weekly makeups make it easy to stay on track. And with 10x more classes and driving lessons than our next-biggest competitor, getting your license has never been faster.
Why We’re in a Lane of Our Own
Learning to drive at other schools can be confusing, time-consuming, and inconvenient. That’s why we do things differently.
The Next Street combines flexibility, support, and modern tools for a better Driver’s Ed experience.

Other Driving Schools
|
|---|---|---|
| Locations |
Yes
70+ locations across Connecticut. Take lessons and tests wherever it’s most convenient
|
No
A handful of locations—often just one site. You’ll spend more time driving to a lesson than during it.
|
| Schedule |
Yes
More classes, lessons, and test appointments than any other driving school, with daytime, evening, and weekend options every week.
|
No
Limited options with long waits for openings mean slower progress toward your license.
|
| Instruction Team |
Yes
Patient, professional, expert instructors who meet students where they are, whether confident or nervous behind the wheel.
|
No
Teaching styles can vary, and patience isn’t always part of the lesson plan.
|
| Fleet |
Yes
Clean, modern, well-maintained vehicles with in-car cameras and GPS for a safer, smoother learning experience.
|
No
Older vehicles with spotty maintenance. (The good news: You’ll get hands-on experience with the “check engine” light.)
|
| Customer Support |
Yes
Real, local humans available by phone, text, or chat 6 days a week. World-class support every step of the way.
|
No
Support is often outsourced or hard to reach. Leave a message after the “beep” (and hope you hear back).
|
| Online Access |
Yes
24/7 online Student Portal for scheduling, payments, and tracking your progress—whenever, wherever.
|
No
Still stuck in the paper age. Expect forms, phone calls, and maybe a fax or two.
|
| Pricing & Payment Plans |
Yes
Transparent pricing and flexible payment plans make the best Driver’s Ed accessible for every family and every budget.
|
No
“Cash or check only.” No payment options, no flexibility… no, thanks.
