Looking to learn how to drive? Try out an 8-hour adult or teen class with Lewis School of Driving.

Lewis School of Driving was established in 1970 by Sgt. Chester R. Lewis, Jr., a retired New Canaan Police Officer who wanted to continue to protect our neighborhoods by creating a school that was committed to teaching new drivers safe driving skills.

The family of Sgt. Lewis continues to carry on his tradition. In 1991 Marie Winters Trant, his stepdaughter, bought the business and took on the honor of guiding her elite, experienced team of driving instructors. Her son, James Winters, joined the team in 2012, keeping that family tradition strong.

They are licensed by the State of Connecticut and bonded. All of their instructors are trained personally and have to be tested by the DMV. They go through a rigorous screening process which includes FBI fingerprinting, DCF history check, driving record and health history check.

They have an experienced, trusted staff of knowledgeable instructors that can teach all levels of students to drive. They specialize in students on the Autism Spectrum and ADHD. They also conduct Au Pair and Senior Citizen driving evaluations. They offer lessons on both automatic and manual shift vehicles. They will pick you up at your home, school or work in New Canaan and bordering towns every day of the week.
