Corequisites : Our program includes Ballet and Japanese-style Jiujitsu, both of which focus on mental well-being, stress management, and the development of critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. These disciplines also foster creativity and strengthen the imagination. These are designed as introductory level classes that will develop as the students advance.
Materials Needed : Will be discussed in each Appropriate Course Outline Page. For Ballet - basically lose clothing to allow for freedom of movement and must have a pair of ballet slippers.
For Jiu-jitsu - A Karate or Judo Ghi is recommended with White belt (usually coems with Ghi uniform). A t-shirt, for under the Ghi top with Ghi pants would also work for the ballet class to save money and changing time.
What is there to do for the 3hrs while you wait for your child?
We Offer a Courtesy Area : At the front of the center, we will have a few workstations available for siblings who need to work on their own homeschool lessons.
