Two Trusted Driving Schools.
One Shared Commitment to Safer Drivers.
For decades, families have trusted us to teach one of life’s most important skills: safe driving Today, Street Smarts of Maryland proudly joins the John’s Family of Companies, bringing together two organizations with a shared mission: providing exceptional driver education that helps students become safe, responsible, and confident drivers for life.
Founded in 1978, John’s Driving School has grown to become Pennsylvania’s largest certified private driver training school. As a third-generation, family-owned business, John’s has spent more than four decades setting the standard for driver education through professional instruction, innovative training programs, and a commitment to customer service.
Street Smarts of Maryland has delivered driver education rooted in real-world safety since 1995. Under the leadership of former United States Secret Service Lead Driving Instructor Chip Sheehan, the school became known for teaching the same defensive driving principles used to prepare agents responsible for transporting Presidents and other high-ranking government officials.
Street Smarts has helped countless Maryland students develop the knowledge, awareness, and confidence needed to stay safe behind the wheel.
Our mission is simple: to provide excellent instruction in the art of driving while helping every student become a safer, more confident, and more responsible driver.
Whether you’re a first-time teen driver, an adult learning later in life, or someone looking to improve your driving skills, we believe quality driver education goes far beyond passing a driving test. It builds habits that protect drivers, passengers, and everyone sharing the road.
