Enrollment applications are accepted year-round. Contact a campus to request an online application; submit early to ensure consideration before classes are filled.

Parents will be notified of acceptance and student placement via written notification. Class placement is based on several factors, including scholastic expectations, student motivation, and comportment.
Testing or submission of an application does not guarantee a child’s acceptance.
Continuous enrollment eliminates the hassle of enrolling every year. When a student enrolls at Challenger, he or she will be automatically re-enrolled each year until graduation or withdrawal, as long as the student meets Challenger’s academic and comportment standards.
Continuous enrollment offers the security and benefit of priority status as well as a discounted tuition rate for returning kindergarten through eighth-grade students. Plus, there are no application fees for academic-year programs.
