For the past 14 years, Drivewise has been the driving school of choice in Norfolk County.
We are deeply invested in the safety and well-being of our community and believe that, together, we are making a difference. Without a doubt, it is our passion that sets us above the rest. Owner Kristine Hill was born in Simcoe and is a proud graduate of Simcoe Composite School.
Our classroom and office, located at 54 Norfolk Street North in downtown Simcoe, is a cozy haven where everyone is safe and valued. We offer both a fully in person or Zoom-based (instructor-led) blended program, catering to all learning styles. Our instructors are MTO certified, undergo annual training and OPP Vulnerable Sector Checks.
We are fully insured and licensed. With our very own full time licensed 310S Mechanic in-house, every car is maintained and repaired to exceed Ministry standards. We believe that every student can achieve their dream of driving, even if they face barriers like anxiety. Wonderful things happen here daily and we are so proud to be part of our students’ amazing stories! If you aren’t sure you can do this, we know you can.
