Middlefield

Challenger's preschool program goes above and beyond! The teachers truly care for the students and the accelerated program is really giving my child an early advantage.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional education that my daughter has received during her two years at Challenger School. We are grateful for the quality of teaching and care that she has received from all of her teachers and staff members, especially from Ms. Tammy, Mr. Jorge, Ms. Miranda, Ms. Christina, Ms. Jia, Ms. Kim, Ms. Sharon, Ms. Karina, and many others. Each of them has made a lasting impression on my daughter and has contributed to her growth and development in different ways. The skills and knowledge my daughter has gained from these wonderful teachers will be invaluable as she continues her journey to grow up. We will never forget the kindness and warmth that you have shown my daughter during her time at Challenger School. The memories she has made with her teachers and friends will stay with her forever.

Great location! Teachers at preschool are professionals! Kids are making tons of crafts over the year!

My son started at challenger when he was about 3. The teaching of phonics at Challenger at an early age has cultivated his reading habit and has enabled him to read independently. A few months after my son had started in Challenger, he already started the habit of reading by himself before bed. Ms Minze (3y's), Ms Christina and Ms Palvi (4y's) and other staffs were always patient and supportive. I still remember one day my son got the Blending The Words Badge in class, when I picked him up and walked through the office, all the staffs clapped hands and said congratulations to him. It meant a lot to a 3.5 years boy and encouraged him to be better and better. Coming out of the pandemic lockdown, my sensitive kindergartener needed some help to adapt to school life. After all, he had not seen any child of his age for more than a year. Ms. Rama (Grade K) was supportive and guided him through his most difficult times. She was patient and understood my child's special needs. By the second month of the in-person class, my son went from hating going to school to wanting to stay in school longer. He even won the 2nd place in the math contest at the end of the semester. We saw a lot of improvements in him both socially and academically. Admittedly, the school puts a lot of focus on academics, including writing, math, science, geography, and literature compared to most other schools. The curriculum is structured and traditional. The teachers and staffs are caring, understanding and easy to communicate. Overall, we are glad that we enrolled our son and it worked out well for him. I would encourage other families to consider the school to see if it is a good fit.

My daughter loves this school and attending it since preschool. Teachers are very good and friendly. They teach kids in a fun and friendly environment especially phonics and grammar, math, logic, science and geography all learned in a fun way and she doesn't feel stressed out with lots of things learning at the same time. They not only focus academically, but also on extra curricular activities like Art, Singing, Sports, Public Speaking, Presentations, Writing Stories, Computers, Logic, Science Fairs etc. They also provide lots of activities during extended care time. My daughter finishes her homework, test preparations, etc during the extended time itself and is self reliant and independently performs her tasks without any help. The kids usually come from different cultures and my daughter is very happy to learn all the different cultures around the world. A strong foundation is built since her preschool and overall, we are very happy with our child's progress.
