With All Of Our Students, We Go Beyond Traditional Drivers Ed
And Teach Them The Most Important Thing Of All...
"Hi! And thanks for visiting our site! Since launching my first driving school on the Kansas side five years ago, we have quickly become the leading school in the area, with five locations, and over 12,000 students taking our course just since 2018. And now I am proud to bring our unique approach to Driver's Ed to the Missouri side.
I started my schools because, based on my 35+ years of experience reporting on literally tens of thousands of wrecks, I knew we needed a whole new approach to Driver's Ed... one that would actually change the way we define a safe teen driver. Because, in my opinion, keeping teens safe means keeping them from getting hurt... and if you don't want them to get hurt, you better teach them how to stay out of wrecks, right?
That's why I created a curriculum focused on 'Collision Avoidance'—real-world strategies that help teens avoid the things that cause wrecks every day. In fact, we teach our students the one thing they can avoid that's responsible for the vast majority of the accidents I see! Seriously!
I hope you'll take a few minutes to browse our site, and if you have any questions at all, give us a call and we'll get an answer back to you asap! Thanks again!"

What They're Saying!
We had an amazing experience with Johnny Rowlands Driving School! My daughter started out as a very nervous driver, but by the end of her lessons, she was confident and fully prepared. She passed her driving test on her first try! We highly recommend this school!

Our daughter completed the 4-hour course and 3 sessions of driving lessons with Mr Pugh. These were very valuable and not only enhanced her driving abilities but also prepared her well for the driver's exam. Mr Pugh was patient {and} kind, and worked well with our daughter. I highly recommend.

The instructor did an excellent job training my son! He was patient and gave me a snapshot of what they worked on.after each lesson. My son gained confidence and learned quite a few things I had not thought of to teach him. Wonderful experience, and I will be referring my friends who have teen drivers to take driving lessons from Johnny Rowlands Driving School.

My daughter had Jeff as her instructor. She said he made her feel so comfortable and was extremely patient with her. Her last driving lesson consisted of half driving and the other half taking the drivers test in their car. She PASSED first try!! We are so thankful for this course and highly recommend.
