Our program contributes to the development of our youth in many ways. We help students to successfully acclimate to an ever-changing school environment all while building positive self-image and esteem. In doing so, we encourage the growth of important skills such as team-building, goal-setting and problem solving. In doing so, program participants have opportunities to interact with a number of their peers and strengthen social skills, all key for their development.

   We believe that all students have the ability to improve their level of competence in a number of areas, regardless of their rate of improvement. CYM encourages students to seek improvement based on their own abilities and current level of development.

   Our curriculum is structured for students to participate in deliberate practice tasks that will promote skill and knowledge acquisition. Students will demonstrate some critical elements found in the Motor Skills/Knowledge components of grade-level outcomes and these will continuously be refined and rehearsed.

   CYM places a huge focus on positive decision-making habits, and the development and integration of pro-social skills such as altruism, compassion, empathy, trust, honesty. Each student will complete the program with a strong foundation and interpersonal skills that encourage cooperation, leadership/followership, participation and effective communication.
