I'm originally from Indiana. All that is actually required is that you hold a learner's permit for a set time and pass the driving and written test. To actually learn to drive, you just gotta have an adult in the car. In theory, this is to teach you how to drive. Outside of that, there are a few restrictions on the license after you start driving, mostly on passengers from what I can remember. Some folks do take drivers ed, which is usually offered at the high school after school or during the summer. When folks do this, they can get their learners permit at a younger age. It is quite common in the rural areas for kids to learn to drive tractors when they are 13/14 or younger.
