American Driving Academy History
In 1986 our family started the American Motorcycle Driving School, Inc (AMDS) in Stormville, New York. Presently, AMDS, Inc., is successfully running and offering the CKS KickSTART Motorcycle Training Series. In 1997 Christine E (Marafioti) Firehock decided to expand the family business to incorporate Auto Driving Training. She began her journey of research and College studies to build an extensive knowledge of both in-car and lecture material.
In 2001 Christine opened The American Driving Academy, Inc. offering private in-car lessons and contracting with the local Colleges to offer Driver Education. ADA is certified to offer: 5 hour Courses, NYS DDC PIRP Benefits, and Graduated Licensing Benefits to minors via Driver Education.
Driver Education Graduates may receive their Senior Driving Privileges one year earlier than their peers (age 17), and be eligible for Insurance Discounts. In the 16 sessions students learn the value of safe driving habits in the classroom and safe driving skills behind the wheel.
