📍 28 Cross Street, New Canaan, CT · Serving Fairfield County Since 1970
At our driving school, we are committed to providing safe, professional, and confidence-building instruction for drivers of all experience levels. Whether you’re a first-time learner or looking to refresh your skills, our experienced instructors offer personalized training in a supportive and friendly environment. We focus on developing responsible driving habits and helping students gain the knowledge and confidence needed to succeed on the road.
Lewis School of Driving was established in 1970 by Sgt. Chester R. Lewis, Jr., a retired New Canaan Police Officer who wanted to continue to protect our neighborhoods by creating a school that was committed to teaching new drivers safe driving skills.
The family of Sgt. Lewis continued to carry on his tradition – in 1991 Marie Winters Trant, his stepdaughter, bought the business and took on the honor of guiding her elite, experienced team of driving instructors.
In 2026, with more than 30 years of experience in driver education, Jennifer Geriak proudly stepped into a new role as the owner of Lewis School of Driving. After spending decades teaching, mentoring, and helping thousands of students become safe and confident drivers, Jennifer recently purchased the school to continue the trusted tradition of quality driver training in the community.
Having worked at the school for over three decades, Jennifer understands firsthand what makes a great driving program: patience, safety, and personalized instruction. This deep experience ensures that every student receives the guidance and confidence they need to succeed behind the wheel.
Under Jennifer’s leadership, Lewis School of Driving remains committed to providing professional instruction, a supportive learning environment, and the highest standards of driver education for new drivers of all ages. What began as a long-time career has now become a personal mission—to continue serving the community and helping the next generation of drivers stay safe on the road.
We are licensed by the State of Connecticut and bonded. All of our instructors are trained personally by us and have to be tested by the DMV. They go through a rigorous screening process which includes FBI fingerprinting, DCF history check, driving record and health history check. We have an experienced, trusted staff of knowledgeable instructors that can teach all levels of students to drive.
Since 1970, we’ve helped thousands of Fairfield County teens and adults earn their licenses safely and confidently.
