    My son and daughter took the adult 6 hour course and loved it ! They now have their driving permits…read moreand are about to test for their license . I highly recommend Cazares Driving School because they take their time to make sure the students learn the right way with an instructor instead of just reading on a computer. They also offer classes for students ages 14-17. Great customer service also !

    Please take your money some where else. I enrolled my son to driving school thinking they will…read moreteach him how to drive because i myself did not feel confortable after paying 300 dollars he attended a full month and took his writting exam and passed. We were told he needed to watch a two hour video and for us to teach him the basics of driving, before he can actually schedule driving lessons with them . If i would had known that i would had save me 300 dollars and teach him myself. Anyways after finding the time from school and work to actually teach him we go back to casares to ask about scheduling and we are told our contract is almost over ( days to be exact) and we would have to pay 15 dollars for every day we schedule driving lessons. Mind you none of this was told to us before. No one informed us we were sopposed to be logging in hours online. So please if you decide to go to this place please get all your information before spending so much money . Im out 300 dollars that i could had saved if i would had known i had to teach my son first. Do your research with other driving schools around the area, i was informed there is places where they will teach them how to drive if they dont know anything.

    Warning! Do not got to this school! The owner is rude and does not stand by the contract. After…read morecovid I called to schedule my sons driving test that I had already prepaid for, only to be told that I would have to pay additional charges because I did not have my son test within 6 months of attending school! Covid was no exception! The owner also told me that if my 16 year old son did not keep paperwork given to him during class he would not test him. I explained that I have the original contract where I paid for the driving test however, the owner was extremely rude and stated that even though the additional charges are not stated on the contract the students are told of the potential extra charges. As a tried to explain that he cannot hold kids accountable for additional charges especially when a contract is already in place and it does not state anything about additional charges, the owner tried to correct me saying he does not teach kids to drive, he teaches "young adults" and the "young adults" are told of the additional charges. The owner uses the words "young adult" to justify his actions on adding extra charges! He also said if he had a child thar was not responsible then he wouldn't send them to a school. Insinuating my child is not responsible! Sorry to burst your bubble but children go to schools to learn responsibility!! For the record, I haven't even asked my son if he has the paperwork just the fact that a person is trying to charge more after a signed contract and payments have been taken is fraudulent and not ok!!! I even told him I would bring the contract and all the paperwork that I signed when I paid for the driving classes however, the owner was adamant that additional charges would be in posed. If you're planning on paying close to 400 dollars on drivers education save your money and go to a school that will stand by their contract and not try to milk you for some more money! There are plenty of driving schools in the area, go to one that will respect you and your child and not try to scam you out of more hard earned money! These people only care about themselves!

    I found out my son had noticed the "Teacher" texting while my son was driving. If it is up to a…read moreParent to practice with their son, there is no way I would be focused on anything else other than the Student Driver. Don't raise your voice out of frustration from unanswered questions you may have. The "Teacher" and husband will threaten you on how happy I should have been not being there at the school, after raising my voice to his wife. I asked if he was threatening me, and he answered yes and how I was not allowed to call back. Trusting someone with your child's life in their hands will cause frustration and anger if simple questions cannot be answered by the people who are supposed to be teaching them. Please note that the Owner blames my son's ADHD disability on my anger that I had to use with them, due to not being able to get any answers from them. Having to show any anger on the phone has nothing to do with my son's ability to operate a vehicle. Read their response to this review's response from the Owner, and they still state that all of their attention is towards the students. They just tell you how my son will lie about how he noticed a "Teacher" texting during a practice lesson, when the Owners weren't even in the car at the time. The parents are always wrong in their eyes. They are there to only suck as much of the government's money as they can to buy nice cars you'll see in their photos.

    My son has attended MMA since the summer following his 8th grade year. He just graduated with the…read morerank of Captain as Executive Officer of Delta Company. I can honestly say I am beyond grateful to the DI's, ADI's, faculty and staff of MMA. He would not be the person he is without those amazing mentors. My son lives and breathes the military life and that made MMA the perfect fit. The following comment is made by Lt. Col. Douglas G. Dry, USMCR, Retired: I only knew one former graduate of MMA by the name of Warren Driggers, with whom I attended TBS in 1979 as Second Lt's. He was one of the more impressive Second Lieutenants in my class. I subsequently ran into him a few times in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield. He was a Major and I was a Major Select. I always thought he would make General some day. I have visited MMA in 1998 and then attended the Summer School Graduation of Shannon's son in 2013 and more recently I was in attendance for his High School Graduation in May of this year. Each time I was highly impressed. In addition I served in the Reserves with a MMA former soccer coach and trained at 29 Palms in 1986-87 with a Major Rocky (I forget his last name) who was a former counselor at MMA. I was impressed with everyone associated with MMA. However, I have been informed by one of the individuals mentioned that there were several wealthy and apparently spoiled kids that did not want to be there but were sent by their parents due to the conditions in either their home county, or to help correct behavioral issues they were having with their child. In addition to some kids with behavioral issues sent to MMA by their parents, as a 30 year practicing attorney, (17 years as a defense attorney and 13 years as a prosecutor), I can understand where a defense attorney may propose and the Court and State Prosecutor may accept the proposal that a troubled kid attend MMA in lieu of some other form of punishment or institution. However, the Court would not just order and send juveniles to MMA as it is not contracted with a Court System and the parents have to pay approximately $40,000.00 per year for their son to attend MMA. In the case of Shannon's son, I can attest that he only attended MMA because he wanted to be there. I always encouraged him to attend based on my understanding of the values, discipline and education he would receive at MMA. As to the individual that stated that he had a terrible and abusive experience at MMA in 96-97, I assume there have been periods of time where cadets have been allowed and possibly encouraged to administer peer discipline, which I am totally opposed to. And I am sure it's possible that there were some abusive employees from time to time. I certainly do not believe this is systematic of MMA. I have experienced some abuse in my early years of the Marine Corps, particularly boot camp, however, my overall experience with the Marine Corps goes beyond extremely positive and had helped me gain the discipline and confidence to lead a productive life. I served 2 years enlisted and 4 years as an officer on active duty, then 20 years as an officer in the Reserves. No parent should send their child to any institution without first checking out that institution, including MMA. But as for me, if I had a son or grandson that wished to attend and had the finances to provide such an experience, I would definitely do so without hesitation. But again, I would always keep my hand on the pulse of MMA and make sure my cadet was having a positive experience. The MMA is not for every child, as the Marine Corps is not for every young adult, but most of the greatest people I have ever known were Marines with who I served. Douglas G. Dry, Lt. Col, USMCR, Retired

    Our 13 year old Nephew completed the 2024 summer camp session and he's a changed young man. I…read morecouldn't be more excited and proud that he wants to attend MMA this school year. Turning 14 and starting the 8 grade is a pivotal time in development for a young man, MMA's structure, activities and Marine culture are giving us hope for his future. Thank You MMA for the possibilities of a bright future for our cadet and for America.
