Our Owl Academy Students, Kindergarten and above, are placed into class based on skill and gender. BIO’s Owl curriculum system Walking Owls, Twirling Owls, Flying Owls, and Soaring Owls is taught on a continuum, allowing students to move at their own pace, advancing on the events on which they are ready. Evaluations are low stress and allow the coaches to track the athletes’ progress. Progression to the next class is achieved when all events from the previous level are completed with ease. If a student has gymnastics experience prior to attending BIO, please contact us and we would be delighted to discuss the most appropriate placement for your child. Our Girls Gym program parallels each of our Owls Classes for girls ages 8-17.
