Why choose Park Grove Driving School?
We are commited to providing the very best driver's education program available! Hello, My Name is Kelly Heiderscheid. I'm The Owner and Lead Instructor of P.G.D.S. I previoulsy worked for the Department of Public Safety at the
Midway Exam Station in St Paul, and I am currently a fire fighter for St Paul Park. My family and I are members of the Newport United Methodist Church. While Working at the exam station, I realized that teens were not being taught all they need to know about driving from the other driver education schools. So I created - with my own very high strict standards
of driving - a Driver's Education Program that Teaches above and beyond the state's minimum reguirements for a driver's education program. Not all driver's education programs are the same. We go the extra mile to ensure each student is understanding
and learning what we are teaching. I am always available after class for questions and extra help if needed. Most teens will only take driver's education once in their lives. Let's make sure that the program they are learning from is the best program available. Most teens will not pay attention and learn if they are not interested in what they are being taught. Our Program makes drivers education a FUN and Exciting learning experience for them.
We teach teens all aspects of driving from starting the vehicle to what to do in the 'What If' situations. The teens of today have a lot more distractions than ever before. Cell phones, IPODS and texting are a major distraction for teens today. We know that getting a driver's license is an exciting time for teens, but we also recognize and teach that driving carries a lot of responsibilty. We teach what could happen if they don't take driving seriously, but we also let teens know how much fun driving can be if i'ts done
with responsibilty and respect. Park Grove Driving School takes the worry out of wondering "Is my teen being taught what they need to know to be a safe and defensive driver?" We are not your typical Driver's Education program from years past .We only teach with up-to-date materials and relevant material. We are in this learning experience together from the first class to the last behind-the-wheel lesson and beyond. We are a local company. I and my family live in St. Paul Park. I want to make sure that all of my students are driving with personal pride, respect for others and defensively. At some point in the future we will all be on the road togeather. That's why safety in our community starts with Park Grove Driving School.
Hear it from satisfied clients:
My name is Justin. In the summer of '09 I was looking for a driver's
education program that I as a 16-year old kid could afford. When I was
talking to my dad about whose class I should take, he brought up the idea of
Park Grove Driving school. I called Kelly the very next day and wanted to
know the costs and what days I could go in. He told me we could work out a
payment plan with him, and I was very excited because my parents said they
were not going to pitch in for driver's ed. Then ten 3-hour-long classes went
by fast. Kelly was strict about learning but he also made it fun for us. I
finally finished and I took my permit test. I knew everything on the test and
got 2 wrong from stupid mistakes. I saw other kids taking the test who
didn't know anything on the test. I was glad I chose Kelly at Park Grove
Driving School. As I was taking my behind-the-wheel classes with Kelly he
made sure I knew everything about driving. He wouldn't let me slack off and
that helped me to learn. Kelly and Park Grove
Driving School was great. I had lots
of fun but I still learned a lot. I recommend them to anyone.
"I wanted my daughter to learn from a trained professional before taking
her driver's test. I called several driving schools to find out what our
options were, and Park Grove made it so easy to fit 6 hours of behind
the wheel training into a schedule that worked for us. After the first
2-hour lesson, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my daughters skills
and confidence. She would share some of the various tips she learned and
it was clear she was benefiting from the experience. I would recommend
Park Grove Driving School to any parent looking for a trustworthy
driving instructor."

Hey Kelly,
Jordan passed the first try. The examiner wrote on his sheet, Good Job well prepared. He said he made parallel parking look simple.
Thanks for all the help that you gave Jordan. He really enjoyed working with you.
Great Job!!!!!
Thanks,

My son, Jacob Gamble, was in your class at the end of May/beginning of June last year.
He did his behind-the-wheel with you at the end of December 2010.
Last Thursday he passed his driving test on the first try in Hastings!!
Although we practiced A LOT, he would frequently cite instructions you had given him and tricks you had shared.
He really respected and liked your approach, and I just wanted to thank you for your time and efforts. I would highly recommend Park Grove Driving School!
Sincerely,
Beth Gamble
