All driving is done in a Safeway car on city streets, highways and freeways with a responsible, licensed Safeway instructor.

Students have one year after completing classroom to finish their behind-the-wheel lessons. Scheduling is offered online for 24/7 convenience. All of Safeway's cars are white with identical graphics so parents and students are confident that it is a Safeway car picking up the student for a lesson. Students can get picked up for their behind-the-wheel lesson from home, school or work. </p><p><strong>Parent involvement </strong>is required to produce safe, responsible teen drivers. It is critical that parents practice regularly with their student drivers. The state requires that students have a minimum of 50 hours of practice (15 hours at night). Parent classes are offered monthly at Safeway's nearby classrooms.</p><p>Cost of the teen package is $425 and includes the classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons, and all materials.

Mindfulness involves bringing a fullness of attention to whatever is happening in our lives, as it’s happening, without judgment. The willingness to stop and be present leads to seeing and relating to life with more clarity and directness. Paying attention allows for choosing our responses to life’s situations rather than reacting out of habit or fear. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is for anyone who experiences stress in their life and thinks they might be able to manage it better. And more than that, it offers a way of being present to our lives so that we don't miss out on the beauty and joy that is also there. It is about balancing all our "doing" with a chance to "be" and in the process it can provide a path to more peace, clarity and well being. This well-respected program was developed in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. </p><p>MBSR provides tools to help you take better care of your health and discover a greater sense of peace and wellbeing. It can help your ability to:</p><ul>
<li>Relax</li>
<li>focus</li>
<li>find balance and stability </li>
<li>access inner strength and wisdom</li>
</ul><p>And handle more skillfully:</p><ul>

Safeway's focus is creating safe, responsible teen drivers. Classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons emphasize defensive driving techniques tailored for the inexperienced teen driver while targeting to influence the invincible teen attitude. All Safeway's instructors are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. </p><p><strong>Class Instruction</strong> prepares the student to take the Minnesota permit test and begin the responsibility of driving. The 30 hours of classroom is structured into 10 independent lessons. If a student misses a lesson, they can make up that exact lesson number at the next session or at one of Safeway's other classroom locations. After class is completed, students who are 15 years old are eligible to take their permit test at any Minnesota exam center. The permit test is not provided during the class. </p><p><strong>Behind-the-wheel instruction</strong> includes six hours of driving in three, two-hour private lessons. All driving is done in a Safeway car on city streets, highways and freeways with a responsible, licensed Safeway instructor. Safeway recommends students take their first lesson 2-3 weeks after receiving their permit card and after 5 hours of practice driving. Students have one year after completing classroom to finish their behind-the-wheel lessons. Scheduling is offered online for 24/7 convenience. All of Safeway's cars are white with identical graphics so parents and students are confident that it is a Safeway car picking up the student for a lesson. Students can get picked up for their behind-the-wheel lesson from home, school or work. </p><p><strong>Parent involvement </strong>is required to produce safe, responsible teen drivers. It is critical that parents practice regularly with their student drivers. The state requires that students have a minimum of 50 hours of practice (15 hours at night). Parent classes are offered monthly at Safeway's nearby classrooms.</p><p>Cost of the teen package is $425 and includes the classroom and behind-the-wheel lessons, and all materials. Pay in full upon registration or choose the payment plan: $255 payable to SLP Community Education upon registration and $170 (two payments of $85 each) payable to Safeway at the behind-the-wheel lessons. </p><p>More questions about the curriculum or driving education?
