Horrible! Just a torture place for small kids, doing home-work always, if that is what you want.

I have attended this campus for 1 year, and I can fully say that Challenger doesn't care about anyone but themselves. They constantly enforce new rules to protect the kids yes but they really go out of line sometimes. They take away a lot of fun from school, and replace it with more and more work. My first year at challenger was fun, only because of my friends. The school really lacks supplies.... I don't see this is so since from one classroom there are funds of about $($10,000 x 20)... Limited play equipment too. Now, I am speaking from what I have experienced... But after this year it might change for the better. This is simply what I think from my stay here.

This school is absolutely terrible. First of all, they give you a load of homework. In the end, the homework ends up making you more confused. They give you less time to interact and socialize. On top of that, they allow absolutely no parties. Parties is a main part of most schools. However, for Challenger, they are scared that we might not know our allergies. For that reason, they banned parties. Everyone that I know strongly urges other people not to attend this terrible school.

This is one of the worst schools my son has been in. He absolutely hates it. All they do is give them homework and they don't even have much free time. All they do is work, work, work.

Absolute bloodsuckers! The school is highly deprived of a sensible "Kids program". Too much of stress on both kids and parents. They try to clutter the class to make maximum money..end result..children dont get as much attention from the teacher. My son's first grade teacher never had the time nor the patience.. she would leave bizarre messages on my telephone and when I try to talk to her, she only had the time to talk about her son who is also a student in the same school.
BOTTOMLINE: if you want to reduce 10 years of your life span and the child's life span then Challenger is the way to go"
stress stress and stress!!!!!

Totally awful experience. School does not give attention to children who needs help. Atleast my son's teacher did nothing other than sending us complain notes and conference requests. She also mentioned many number of times that she has "lot to do" and would be impossible to give any individual attention. Just in first grade, my child was absoluetly stressed out and so was I.

He spent about 2:30 hrs everyday with HW and test preparation. Its just not worth anything.
