  Philosophy
- Recreation programs are designed first and foremost
to be fun. They also provide superior physical development
(flexibility and strength), challenging activity and
a measure of success and accomplishment for the child.
Structure
- Our 14 color/level ‘CanGym’ program
has been modeled after the Gymnastics  Canada Gymnastique
(GCG) 'CanGym' national program. Instruction is provided
on all Olympic gymnastics events plus trampoline. Each
class is streamed according to age, award level and/or
previous experience. Boys and Girls are coached in separate
groups. There is a maximum student to instructor ratio
of 8 to 1.
Accomplishment
- Progress reports are provided to students upon
fitness assessments dates, followed by our 'CanGym'
medallions. 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.
