About Coastline Academy, the Modern Driving School

We're on a mission to eradicate car crashes. We do this by helping people become safe, confident drivers for life.

Why The Modern Driving School?

We believe people learning to drive deserve the best education experience in the world. Whether it's your first time behind the wheel or you need a brush up before your test, we offer a driving experience that will make you a safer and more confident driver for the rest of your life.

We do this by focusing on the areas most important to our customers:

• Professionally trained, state-certified driving instructors
• Clean, late-model cars equipped with the latest safety equipment
• Engaging, always-updated online courses
• Online scheduling and booking to provide world-class convenience
• Friendly and extremely knowledgeable phone, email and chat support specialists to help you every step of the way

Focusing on what's important to you has allowed us to become the fastest-growing and largest behind-the-wheel driving school in the United States.

Our core values

We have lived by these three core values since the day we opened our doors:

1. People First - Our drive is to provide a better experience for more students, everywhere
2. Transparency - Coastline is built on feedback - we give, receive, and request feedback often
3. Efficiency - We build software to allow our team and our customers to do more in less time

As a company, we talk about these values every day, and measure success by how well we uphold them.

People-first means safety-first

You can't start a company to rid the world of car crashes without obsessing over safety. We believe the key to safety is finding and hiring the best instructors, and delivering to them the highest standard of instructor training. Our instructors are calm, caring and patient. We attract the best talent by paying above industry norms and by providing them professional support through continuing education and a collaborative work environment with managers and peers.

We're the only driving school in most states to perform independent background and drug screens on all employees who interact with students. We also record audio and video of each lesson to ensure everyone’s safety.

We also use only clean, late-model, environmentally-friendly vehicles, and equip them with a dual brake so our instructors are ready to keep our students safe at all times.

Use of technology

Technology enables us to provide an exceptional student and instructor experience. Our instructors are able to manage their own schedules on the same platform (right here!) that you use to book your lesson, and everything happens in real time, so the moment you book and pay, you're ready to go - no extra phone calls, unless you want them.

At the end of each lesson, your instructor fills out a lesson skills report and emails you a copy so you know exactly what to work on between lessons.

Our online courses are all mobile-optimized, and you can seamlessly switch between phone, tablet or computer. Learn where you want, when you want. When you're done your online course, order your certificate online or, if your state allows it, download your certificate right away to take the next step in your driving journey.

We're so sure you'll love your experience with Coastline that we back it up with our Coastline Guarantee. If for any reason we don't live up to our promise we'll redo or refund your lesson.
