What driving practice looks like around Paul VI.
Students who come to us from St. Paul VI Catholic High School are learning to drive in Chantilly and the neighborhoods around it — . That specific mix of roads is what we build the lesson plan around, instead of running a generic curriculum and hoping it transfers.
Our classroom on Walney Road is roughly 3.5 driving miles away, which matters more than it sounds: a shorter trip means more of a lesson is spent driving and less of it is spent getting somewhere. It also means we know these roads at the hours your student will actually be on them.
The roads we work up through
- Braddock Road — quieter early sessions here build lane discipline and steady speed control before we add traffic.
- Gum Spring Road — we use this stretch to practice signal timing, safe following distance, and lane selection.
- Loudoun County Parkway — higher-speed merging, mirror checks, and confident lane changes get drilled here once basics are solid.
- Route 50 — multi-lane turns and heavier commuter volume make this a final-stage confidence road.
What tends to trip up new drivers here
- Event and dismissal surges on Braddock Road
- Roundabouts and construction in the South Riding/Aldie area
- Route 50 congestion and multi-lane turns
The route between campus and Walney Road gives Panther drivers experience with Braddock Road, Gum Spring Road, Route 50, and fast-growing eastern Loudoun traffic.
Scheduling around a Private; Catholic Diocese of Arlington bell schedule
Most Paul VI families book weekday sessions right after dismissal or weekend morning slots. Because we're close, an after-school lesson doesn't eat the whole evening. Weekend availability runs 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, which is usually the easiest window for families juggling sports and activities.
For the road test, families in this area often use Sterling DMV or Fair Oaks DMV. Availability shifts, so we don't promise a specific site — we prepare students to pass wherever they're scheduled, and we offer the Virginia DMV road test waiver for qualified students who'd rather test with us than wait in the DMV line.
