Linden, NJ / March 25, 2026/ Driving Academy is proud to announce that it has earned the 2026–2027 Military Friendly® School Silver designation in recognition of its commitment to helping veterans transition into civilian careers through hands-on, career-focused CDL training.

This recognition highlights Driving Academy’s support for veterans, military spouses, and other military-connected students seeking a practical path into the trucking industry.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Schools designation were evaluated using public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. The methodology, criteria, and weightings were developed by Military Friendly® in consultation with the Military Friendly® Advisory Council, a group of independent leaders in the military community.
“Earning the Military Friendly® designation is more than a badge of honor; it is a reflection of an institution’s deep-rooted values and strategic commitment to those who served. These schools don’t just open doors for veterans and military spouses, they build sustainable pathways for academic success and long-term impact. Their support is transformative, proving that investing in military-connected students is both a moral imperative and a standard for educational excellence.”
