Empowering Freedom and Independence One Driver at a Time
In 1976, A Metropolitan Driving School, LLC was founded by Bradford Jordan with a vision to provide the Metro-Richmond area with a driving school that delivers exceptional learning environments, expert instruction, and a commitment to safety. For over 40 years, our driving school has maintained its high standards and continues to strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information on laws, driving techniques, and the latest technology and equipment.
Expert Instruction and Safety First
Our state-certified instructors have years of experience and are dedicated to teaching confidence, defensiveness, and alertness. We believe that a driver's license is a symbol of freedom and independence, and we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to succeed.
Community Initiative
In 2007, we launched a community initiative to provide domestic violence victims with the knowledge and skills required to gain a driver's license. We understand that a driver's license can be a powerful tool for escaping an abusive household. If you are a part of an organization that supports domestic violence victims, please contact us to learn more about our initiative.

Each component must be completed with A Metropolitan Driving School.
