Our Curriculum

Our program consists of five levels where our students will work to meet the benchmarks set for them. Once those curriculum standards are met, the student will advance to the next level. Age is not a requirement for advancement and thus a student may move at his or her own pace as long as they meet standard and complete the curriculum. Here are the five levels.
The Super Rookies – These kids are under the age of 7, they are the siblings of the older students that are in the program.
