Driving while intoxicated (DWI) school is an educational program for individuals who have been convicted of driving while intoxicated. Through this type of program, a DWI offender typically learns about the effects of drugs and alcohol on his body and the consequences of DWI offenses. A person may be sentenced to attend DWI school after he is found guilty of a DWI offense, or he may be ordered to attend this type of program after he pleads guilty in a DWI case. The length of time a person has to attend DWI school often depends on the seriousness of his DWI charge; a first-time offender, for example, may spend less time in this type of program than a repeat offender would. In some jurisdictions, the court system does not make DWI school a requirement, but the offender may still need to attend it if he hopes to get his driver's license back.

A person attends DWI school to receive alcohol and drug education. When an individual enrolls in one of these programs, he typically learns about the laws that apply to driving while intoxicated in his particular jurisdiction. This type of program may also teach DWI offenders about the consequences of driving while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. Such consequences may include not only such things as driver’s license suspension and jail, but also the potential for fatal accidents.
