PLEASE READ PRIOR TO FILLING OUT OUR APPLICATION
Thank You for Your Interest in Oxford Hills and Western Maine Driving Academy!
Due to continuous occurrences of false signups, we will need to require that anyone signing up for a class in advance (holding a spot) agree to pay the nonrefundable deposit to hold that spot prior to the start of class. We hope that this will lessen the amount of "no shows" during classes which will allow us to give these empty spots to serious inquires. Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to meeting you all!
Drive Safe,
Samantha (OHWMDA)

About Western Maine Driving Academy
Parent Orientation: Your Involvement Is Important
Every class begins with a Parent Orientation where both the student and the parent attend a meeting with the location’s instructor to discuss the process of obtaining the child’s learner’s permit and the requirements of doing so. We also ask during this orientation whether there are any questions by the parent or the student. Any questions following the orientation, please do no hesitate to contact the instructor or the office!
PLEASE BRING:
-Student’s Birth Certificate (must be 15 or older during the orientation)
-Deposit of $300 (non refundable)
-Pen (paperwork will be completed during the orientation to complete the sign up process)
NOTE: We cannot accept personal checks after the first week of class. When paying the remaining balance of your child’s tuition beyond this point please do so using cash, money order, or bank check. Thank you!
We Offer Private Drives!
We offer private drives whether it is just for more knowledge and/or comfortability behind the wheel or to prepare for your driving test to obtain your license! Please contact the instructor associated with the location in which you will be testing, found below!

Road Ready Updates
Now on Android phones! We are excited to announce that RoadReady is now available on Android phones! We want to thank you for your continued patience as we awaited the funds to make this possible. As most of you now know, Toyota is our new national sponsor in addition to State Farm®, and enabling the RoadReady app for all phones was one of our first priorities. We added some additional features in RoadReady and want to share them with you now. • The online version of the PSDP guide for your state is now available via RoadReady App. While in the app, tap the menu button in the upper left corner, and scroll down to the “Driving Guide”tab. It will open to your state’s PSDP guide. This is handy so parents can quickly refer to a specific skill or subject in the guide without needing to bring the printed guide along with them. • There’s also a new feature in RoadReady, under the tab “My Driving School”. This has been added so that driving instructors can be more involved in the supervised driving experience. With this new feature, a driving school can register via RoadReady, and upon confirmation of their credentials with the state, we then upload their logo and contact info into the app, and they receive an enrollment code. The instructor would then introduce the RoadReady app with their class, and encourage students to download it. Students can enter the school’s specific enrollment code, and then they’re synced with the school. The instructor can see the list of enrolled students within the app, and can track the # of hours logged. They are also able to send push notifications and emails through the app to their students and/or parents. We hope that this feature will be useful and help to improve communication between parents and driver’s ed instructors during the permit phase. This feature is still in a testing phase, but we will keep you informed of its progress. Lastly, October 21st–27th is National Teen Driver Safety Week. Be on the lookout for some materials which we hope you can share with your state DMV offices if possible.
