I have one daughter who went through Fresh Green Light and now my son is there. The program is flexible and well organized. But the highlight of the program is Peggy Meehan who is knowledgeable about every detail of the process, is a wonderful teacher, and is incredible with the kids in the car and in the classroom. She made the whole process fun for all of us, and went out of her way to be helpful. Read Less

Everyone, from the office to the instructors were very accommodating. The program allows students to take classes at several locations and at several times. We took full advantage of that in order to fit in all 15 classes. Peggy, the Wilton instructor really cares about the teens and wants to see them succeed. She is straight with them but also shares the reality with them. I am planning to have my younger child take driving lessons and classes with FGL when she is 16. Read Less

This is an amazing driving school.  They really understand teens and all the pressure that they are under.  They are warm, flexible and understanding.  Our daughter's primary instructor, Peggy in Wilton is an an incredible instructor.  She had made herself available to all of her students and patiently addresses their questions and concerns.  My daughter faced many challenges and passed her driving test the first time.  This was no easy feat.  I would highly recommend this program do to the exceptional instruction and flexibility.

Could not have wished for a better driver's ed program for my son.  The flexibility to be able to take classes in different towns was great, as was the ability to choose where the driving lessons took place.  His primary instructor, Peggy, was really wonderful and I'm happy to say my son is a great driver and passed his test the first time.

This program was fantastic for my son. The classes were flexible to fit around his schedule and he could attend in other locations to get his classes in the event of a conflict. He enjoyed the content of each and the videos kept him engaged and interested. Peggy was also super supportive and patient with him during his practices drives and provided relevant feedback each time that he could then apply in practical driving situations. She was always on time to pick and up and drop off and you can tell she enjoys the teens and can engage in conversation with them at their level. Thanks Peg and FGL! Read Less

Fresh Green Light is an exemplary driving school, though not cheap (it's worth it).  For in car lessons (excellent teachers) your teen can be picked up or dropped off pretty much anywhere (school, home, etc).  The classroom sessions are easy to schedule and you can even have your teen take the road test at FGL. They very effectively taught  my two teens who are now safely driving about.  And, the people who work there are not only well qualified, but really nice.  (Parents, you have to do your part too though- practice, practice, practice).

We can't say enough about our great experience with Fresh Green Light. After researching local driving schools and frankly hearing horror stories we found Fresh Green Light which was recommended by a friend. Our son took the course and was well prepared for a variety of driving conditions. His instructor Peggy was a gem! We would recommend this driving school to all of our friends and plan to use it for our younger daughter when the time comes. Read Less

I've updated me original review to from 1 star to 3 stars. I first rated Fresh Green Light as 1-star because I felt completely misled as to how available their driving instructors were. I've upgraded to 3 stars because my daughter has now been through 10 classroom sessions and 3 driving lessons (in the car), and the quality of instruction has been excellent.Here's what happened - when I signed up for the 30+8 package, Fresh Green Light told me they weren't able to schedule driving instruction for 3 weeks. I thought that would be okay, but after I paid and could actually see the specifics online of when the lessons were available, I found that they were available only at 12:45 pm on weekdays! (These lessons are for my 16-year old who, of course, attends high school during the day.) The first lesson they had available that wasn't during school hours was more than 2.5 months in the future--and there was just one lesson available, on a day of the week that doesn't work for us! I called to complain, and their response was that they were trying to hire more instructors.  When I signed up, I was clear that the lessons were for my teenage daughter. For the lady on the phone to tell me they had lessons available in 3 weeks was disingenuous. Be careful if you deal with this company. I feel very misled by Fresh Green Light!Here's the update. My daughter has now been through more than half the classes that Fresh Green Light offers in the classroom, and those have been excellent. She's taken classes both in Darien and in Fairfield (because Fairfield has Saturday sessions and Darien doesn't). Both instructors have been top-notch.Also, I've now been able to schedule all the driving lessons (the ones in their car). Three lessons opened up in Darien (within 2 months of our signing up with Fresh Green Light). And then, we were able to schedule the other 3 lessons in Westport. The Westport lessons are inconvenient (had to cancel piano lesson in order to do it), but they were the only 3 times available, so we felt we had better take them. I've also heard that Fresh Green Light has a lot of cancellations, so if you are willing to call them every day to check for cancelled lessons, you can do better. For some reason, they have more availability when you call them than what they post online, so it's not sufficient to check online.My daughter has had 3 driving lessons (in the car) so far, and she's felt very good about the instruction.
