Company owners, Stu and Megan Summers, realized a need for a new facility after seeing a number of students from Marshall County were enrolling for classes at the Valparaiso location. The location at Crossroads Academy is designed to be more convenient for the entire North Central Indiana area. To enroll in Excel Driving classes, students must be at least 15 years old. Once enrolled, the student will be given a Certificate of Driver's Education (CDE) which entitles them to obtain a learner's permit from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).
