Established in 2016 No. 1 in AbbottabadHelping Women Learn to Drive with Confidence
Maryam Driving School is a women's driving school serving Abbottabad and Mansehra in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It was founded in 2016 by Mam Maryam, who still leads the school and its team of female driving instructors.
The school started with a simple purpose: to give women a comfortable place to learn an essential life skill, taught patiently and practically, without pressure to keep up with anyone else. Today it is regarded as the No. 1 ladies driving school in Abbottabad, teaching only with female instructors and including free pick & drop from your home in every course.

Our Story
Maryam Driving School was established in 2016 in Abbottabad by Mam Maryam. At the time, women in the area who wanted to learn driving had few places to go where the setting felt comfortable and the teaching felt unhurried. Mam Maryam started the school to fill exactly that gap.
From the first lesson onward, the school was built around women learners. That decision shaped everything else: who teaches, how lessons are paced, and what a learner is expected to know before moving on. Female instruction is a central part of the school's identity, not an add-on — every learner is taught by a female driving instructor.
As word spread, the school extended its driving lessons to women in Mansehra as well, near Township, alongside the original Abbottabad location near Jadoon Plaza, Phase 2. Today it serves learners across both cities, and the approach has not changed: patience first, practical driving second, and confidence as the result of both.
One early decision shaped the school as much as female instruction did: making pick & drop free rather than charging for it. Daily travel was the barrier that stopped most women from finishing a course, so it was removed from the equation entirely. Admission moved online for the same reason — a woman should be able to enrol, choose her course and agree her timings without leaving home.
Many learners arrive having never sat in the driver's seat. Others have a licence but have not driven in years. Both are normal starting points here, and both are handled the same way — step by step, at a pace the learner sets.
Learning to drive is a life skill. It should be taught with patience, not pressure.
The person behind the school
Meet Mam Maryam
Maryam Driving School is founded and led by Mam Maryam. She started the school in 2016 and her vision is what makes it a women-focused driving school rather than a general one.
Her teaching philosophy is straightforward. A learner who feels rushed does not learn well, so lessons move at the learner's pace. Questions are expected, repetition is fine, and nothing is treated as obvious. Instruction stays respectful throughout — a learner should never feel embarrassed about what she does not yet know.
The emphasis is practical. Rather than theory for its own sake, lessons build the habits a woman actually needs to drive her own car on everyday roads, one skill layered on the last.

Why We Focus on Women
A dedicated space for women learners is not about excluding anyone. It is about removing the things that slow learning down. When a learner is comfortable, she asks more questions, admits when she has not understood something, and practises until a skill is genuinely hers.
For many women in Abbottabad and Mansehra, learning with a female instructor is simply the arrangement that works best for them and their families. Maryam Driving School exists to make that option available.
