Driving School in Anthem, AZ

Anthem is a planned community off I-17 at the north edge of the Valley, and almost every longer drive starts on I-17. Your instructor drives up to Anthem to pick you up from home, school or work, at no extra cost. Lessons start on Anthem's neighborhood streets, then add Daisy Mountain Drive, Anthem Way, Gavilan Peak Parkway and the I-17 ramps. Because each lesson is 2.5 hours, you can build up to the freeway in one session instead of rushing it.
