| KC's Driving School - How It Works |

course in order to get your license. KC’s Driving School has been approved to do
this for over 22 years.
course in order to get your license. KC’s Driving School has been approved to do

History Of KC's
Kathy started the school in Watertown in 1986 and her husband, who worked for
the DMV for 30 years, helped her along. Eventually, several other family members
started their own KC’s Driving School. There are now 6 locations that are “KC’s”
and many others that are named something else throughout the State of Wisconsin.
We are a small family run business. We are NOT perfect, but we do our very best.
The safety of teen drivers is our main concern and we are always looking for new
and better ways to educate them in driving. Our staffs of instructors are second to
none. Each instructor is carefully chosen and screened for ability and character. We
do not hire off the street and instructors always must come with a strong referral. I
can tell you it has been difficult over the years finding instructors because of the
strict standards we uphold.
