Spark Program Levels

At The Spark we don't focus on assigned age groups. Age does not determine the level of a student. We may recommend an age range only with the intention of providing a guideline. We encourage you and your student to consider their level, based on the recommendations below, and age when registering for Spark Programs.

Spark Programs have intentionally limited enrollment and are structured to accommodate and challenge students of all skill and experience levels. Unsure of what this might look like in the training environment or if your student would be a good fit for our model, contact our Spark Admin Staff so they can assist you in evaluating your student's placement.
