School Classes

We offer a 6 week "Character Development Class and Intro to Parkour" Course. Character qualities we cover include determination, grit, gratitude, and humility. We also focus on the growth process and accepting that growth takes time and is not always immediate and/or easy. Class meets once a week for 6 weeks for about 45 minutes.

Our 6 week School Class helps kids by providing:

• Practice controlling impulses as we learn to move in and around obstacles in a more efficient and safe manner.
• Breathing techniques that promote self-regulation, focus, and control
• An environment to boost confidence
• An opportunity for students who have a hard time controlling impulses to release some excess energy

 Our classes can be used as a reward, parent elective, or a character development program for students struggling to follow school procedures and expectations.
