The school is located in the Cobequid Mountains of Nova Scotia. These "mountains", so called in local parlance, were created by tectonic upheaval and subsequent glacial erosion and rise in places to 1200 ft (365m) asl. Near Parrsboro, these mountains form a long south facing escarpment with many east and west facing slopes that are washed by the steady breezes off the majestic Bay of Fundy. It is on the more gentle slopes of these hills that training is provided. Once secure and comfortable with their skill level the students progress to the more advanced launches available in the mountains or along the sea coast. The school has access to miles of great coastal soaring.
Student/Instructor ratio 5:1 max.
The classroom and training fields are located in and around Diligent River.
