 Philosophy
- This class time has been exclusively reserved
for registered homeschoolers to facilitate a non-competitive
environment where the gymnastics curriculum is taught
without regard to a skill acquisition timeline. This
is a rare opportunity for homeschooled children to take
part in an activity that is conducive to the homeschool
philosophy.
Structure
- Although it is recommended that students take
part in our 14-level 'CanGym' Burgundy through Gold
award system, not all groups may want to attend the
required ten classes. Groups who do not wish to take
part in the medallion program will be instructed according
to the same curriculum as those who do, but without
the awards. A 10 to 1 student/teacher ratio provides
a lower cost without sacrificing the quality of instruction.
Instruction is provided on all Olympic gymnastics events
plus trampoline. This program is coed.
 Accomplishment
- Progress reports are provided to students upon
fitness assessments dates, followed by presentation
of our 'CanGym' medallions (if this option is chosen).
The actual medallion is Gold in colour while the colour
of the sticker represents progress being made. Each
time a student receives an award (Step 1, Step 2, or
Mastered) he/she has the opportunity to either:
a) advance within a color/level or
b) move on to the next color/level.
Within each level there are an average of 36 gymnastics
skills that are distributed among the floor exercise,
rings,vault, parallel and uneven bars, high bar, trampoline,
pommel horse, and balance beam. These skills progress
in their complexity as students master each successive
medallion. Note: The school retains records on the progress
of each student to assist in class placement in future
sessions.
