Exciting News: Laurentian Driving School is Now in PEI!
We’re proud to announce that Laurentian Driving School has expanded to Prince Edward Island, with locations in Charlottetown and Summerside.
As part of this exciting new chapter, we’ve joined forces with Anita Bradley’s School of Driving — a trusted name in PEI driver training. Anita’s legacy of safety, professionalism, and community care continues, now supported by Laurentian’s resources and experience across Atlantic Canada.
That means the same amazing instructors PEI families know and trust, plus expanded programs in Class 5 driver education, beginner courses, and road test preparation. Together, we’re committed to helping more Islanders gain the skills and confidence to succeed behind the wheel.
We’re thrilled to join the PEI community — and we can’t wait to welcome you to your local driving school in Charlottetown and Summerside.
