Bay Cities Driving School FAQ's

Can you tell me if Bay Cities Driving School is a certified driving school in California?
Although Bay Cities Driving School is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently licensed to teach driver training courses in California.  We recommend either calling Bay Cities Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out whether or not Bay Cities Driving School offers driver training courses that are state-approved.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in California, so taking a Redwood City driving school course like the one Bay Cities Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?

I live in a very rural area, where there are mountains and a lot of unpaved roads. Do you know if Bay Cities Driving School teaches students how to drive in rural areas like where I live instead of just driving on smooth, paved roads in city areas?
