  • The Challenger curriculum post-Kindergarten is one size fits all; they do not account for different learning levels. The Challenger program is not well-rounded. There is no music class. There is no gym for PE. There is no art class. There is no program for social growth. There is no science lab. The computer class is programming only, real-world usage isn't taught. Challenger is purely academic. That's great if you think your kid will like a very formal setting with very limited social interaction, but let me tell you now - your child will not have much time to be a kid, at school or at home. Challenger lacks greatly in communication. If you have a question for the teacher you must call in and leave a message and wait to have your call returned within 24 hours. Challenger tells you that they have an open door policy, but the handful of times I have popped in to use the "open door," it was closed and I had to make an appointment. There is no online access, nor can you email the teacher or call her/him directly. You can email the elementary director, but it was my experience that it was sometimes hard to get a reply and I have documentation of sending a 2nd email to entice a response. Parents are discouraged from coming into the school and all but forced to use car line. All of the reasons above were not enough for me to consider leaving Challenger, the reason we left was because Challenger placed my daughter with an unqualified teacher, twice, and the aftermath of that choice. If your child isn't one to automatically absorb what is read aloud to them in class, you are truly on your own. Challenger's teachers are mostly uncertified and several of them lack teaching experience. (Side note: every parent pays the same tuition - you may get a teacher with a lot of experience and/or a master's degree, or you may get one with no experience, fresh out of college with a BA in non-education studies.)There is no study hall. There are no small groups for kids who need assistance in certain subjects. It is my experience that Challenger School's staff is not an ally in learning, and there is not an all-out effort to make sure your child is thriving. There is no bottomless trunk full of strategies to succeed - it is sink or swim.
