Academy Classes
We offer Academy classes for children 6 years old and up. Our program is based around the “Star Incentive Program” which has 10 different levels represented by different colored belts (for girls), or wrist bands (for boys), that the children wear. There are 22 skills at each level and the children earn a star for their belt or wrist band each time they learn a new skill for their level. After earning 18 stars, they are eligible to test for the next higher level. We keep track of their stars and progress on the “Star Board” next to the viewing room.
