Enrichment Programs
Gymnastics, Dance, and Cheerleading

Gymnastics, as presented at Desert Christian Schools (Kindergarten through Twelfth Grades) is designed to emphasize the fundamental gymnastic skills and routines developed by the United States Gymnastics Federation and currently used in Junior Olympic Competition. The skills and gymnastics "know-how" are all part of our skills testing program. There are seven skill levels: Novice, Novice 1, Novice 2, Novice 3, with three advanced levels: Bronze, Silver and Gold.

DCS also has a general Gymnastics Show Team which performs in shows throughout the year at places such as Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, and Magic Mountain.

Dance Program at Desert Christian Schools is offered with the philosophy that we want children to be able to feel and express their ideas through movement. We want them to be creative.

The main emphasis of the Dance Program is to develop traditional ballet, tap, and jazz dance skills. We will use a variety of methods, including exposure to folk dance and square dance activities, to enhance the students' movement vocabulary, and foster an appreciation for multi-cultural dance from around the world.

Cheerleading is offered as a part of the DCS Gymnastics Program as an introductory class for elementary students concentrating on basic cheerleading skills. The class covers basic stunts, tumbling and cheers. Students use these skills to cheer on their peers at the jog-a-thon and field days.

After School Sports activities are available for the 3rd - 5th graders who desire to participate in team sports while developing indvidual skills.  Sports offered may include waterbottle bat ball, basketball, volleyball and track.
