Adonai Teaching Philosophy

Our Teaching Philosophy

We have an encouragement-based teaching style. We believe in building people up in order to help them learn. Recognizing that we are doing more than just developing skills, we are developing people. How people are taught either encourages or discourages them. Too often people are kept from attaining their dreams because they are afraid to try. We want to walk alongside people and give them courage to try new things! We hold firmly to the belief that positive sincere compliments intertwined with sensitive constructive correction will help children, teens, and adults learn most effectively.

Adonai's Gymnast Program

Adonai is a Christian-based business. Certainly each person has natural God-given gifts. This also means that each person is unique! It takes time and patience to help develop and discover those gifts. We as a staff desire to encourage our students to not only develop new skills, but also to learn to create and develop ideas that pertain to that skill area!

Coordination and skill will come as confidence, creativity, and character are developed. We believe these attributes are all important. Our desire is to help our students dream big dreams for themselves and help them attain their highest potential.
