A Complete Classroom Package for Virginia Teen Drivers
Learning to drive is more than memorizing signs or passing a test. A new driver must learn how to notice risk early, make calm decisions, share the road and understand the rules that apply before a provisional license is issued. Anees Driving School brings the required classroom pieces into one organized package so teens can learn at a manageable pace and parents know what comes next.
The online portion covers Virginia’s classroom driver-education curriculum. After completing the online lessons, the student completes the required in-person steps: the 90-minute parent/teen component and a monitored final examination. For families in Fairfax and the surrounding Planning District 8 localities, the parent/teen component must be conducted in person and a parent, guardian or foster parent must participate unless a statutory exemption applies.
Important: Important distinction: this package completes the classroom and parent/teen portions. Virginia’s behind-the-wheel program—seven driving sessions and seven observation sessions—is a separate component.
What Is Included in the $260 Package?
The package is designed to remove guesswork while keeping each legal requirement easy to identify.
1. Virginia Online Driver Education
Complete the DMV-recognized classroom curriculum online through a licensed program. The online classroom component is 30 hours—the equivalent of 36 fifty-minute classroom sessions—and can be completed according to the course platform’s pacing and access rules.
2. In-Person 90-Minute Parent/Teen Session
The teen and a parent or legal guardian attend together in Fairfax. The session connects Virginia’s licensing rules with practical family decisions about practice driving, distractions, speed, passengers, night driving and responsible vehicle use.
3. Monitored In-Person Final Exam
Virginia requires students who complete the classroom course online to take the final exam in person at an approved test site. Anees provides a local path to complete this step after the online course requirements are met.
4. Completion Documentation and Next-Step Guidance
After the course requirements and final exam are successfully completed, the appropriate classroom completion documentation is issued. Students can then continue toward supervised practice and behind-the-wheel training.
What Your Teen Will Learn
Strong driver education teaches judgment, not just answers. The course develops the knowledge a new driver needs to recognize hazards and choose a safer response before a situation becomes an emergency.
- Virginia traffic laws, licensing responsibilities and the graduated driver licensing process
- Road signs, pavement markings, lane use, right-of-way and intersection decisions
- Space management, following distance, speed selection and hazard recognition
- Defensive-driving habits for city streets, highways, work zones and changing weather
- The effects of distraction, fatigue, aggressive driving, alcohol and drugs
- Safe interaction with pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcycles, school buses and emergency vehicles
- Vehicle readiness, seat-belt use, passenger safety and basic emergency response
- How parents can set expectations, supervise practice and model responsible driving
How the Complete Package Works
Follow this sequence to avoid missing a required document or scheduling the in-person steps too early.
1. Enroll and receive course instructions
Complete payment, submit the required registration details and watch for the course-access email. Use the student’s legal name exactly as it appears on identification documents.
2. Finish the online classroom course
Work through every required module and assessment. Save the completion confirmation; it will be needed when the student reports for the final exam.
3. Attend the 90-minute session together
The teen and parent or legal guardian attend the scheduled in-person session. Do not assume that an online substitute is acceptable for a Planning District 8 student.
4. Take the final exam in person
After the online course is complete, bring the required documents to the approved test site and complete the monitored final examination.
5. Receive classroom completion documentation
Successful completion confirms the classroom portion of driver education. Keep every certificate and receipt in a safe place.
6. Continue with supervised practice and behind-the-wheel training
The classroom certificate does not replace in-car training. Book the separate teen behind-the-wheel course and continue the required parent-supervised practice.
Why the 90-Minute Session Must Be In Person in Northern Virginia
Virginia adds a 90-minute parent/student component to driver education for students under 18. The delivery rule changes by location. In Planning District 8, the component must be taught in person, and a parent, guardian or foster parent must participate with the student. This local rule is especially important because a generic statewide page may say the component can be taken online without explaining the Northern Virginia exception.
Planning District 8 includes Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties, plus the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park. Anees Driving School’s Fairfax session gives local families a straightforward way to satisfy the in-person requirement.
Important: Possible exemptions include a student who is 18 or older, an emancipated minor, or an unaccompanied minor who is not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian. Ask Anees to confirm which documentation is required for an exemption.
What to Bring for the In-Person Final Exam
Virginia DMV’s online-driver-education guidance requires the final exam to be taken in person. Before traveling to the test site, confirm the appointment and bring the documents requested by the school. The standard checklist includes:
Important: Bring original documents when requested. Names and dates of birth should match across the student’s registration and identification.
- A government-issued photo ID or another form of identification accepted by the test site
- Proof that the online driver-education course has been completed
- Parent or guardian consent when the student is under 18
- Proof of completing the 90-minute parent/teen component when it is required
- Any registration confirmation or additional document listed in the school’s appointment email

The Virginia Teen Licensing Roadmap
This package is an important milestone, but it is only one part of becoming a licensed Virginia driver. For a student under 18, the usual path includes all of the following:
1. Apply for a learner’s permit
Virginia allows an applicant to apply at age 15 years and 6 months, subject to DMV identity, residency, testing and consent requirements.
2. Complete state-approved driver education
Finish the classroom component, the required 90-minute parent/teen component and the separate in-car component.
3. Practice with a qualified adult
A parent or guardian certifies at least 45 hours of supervised driving, including at least 15 hours after sunset.
4. Complete behind-the-wheel instruction
The standard teen program includes seven fifty-minute driving sessions and seven fifty-minute observation sessions, plus the final road-skills assessment through the driver-education program.
5. Meet the permit holding period
A driver under 18 generally holds the learner’s permit for at least nine months and meets all other current DMV eligibility rules before licensing.
Why Families Choose Anees Driving School

- Local assistance from a DMV-listed Northern Virginia driving school
- A combined package that identifies the online and in-person requirements clearly
- A Fairfax option for the Planning District 8 parent/teen requirement
- A direct next step into separate teen behind-the-wheel training when the student is ready
- Support by phone at (703) 393-6644 when a parent or student needs clarification

Contact Anees before registering. Virginia allows different delivery options for the 90-minute component outside Planning District 8, so the school should confirm the correct format and documentation for the student’s home jurisdiction.
Virginia DMV states that the 2027 changes do not alter the existing requirements for residents under 18. Families should still review DMV guidance near the student’s licensing date in case procedures or forms are updated.
