Berryessa

Words cannot express how much I appreciate the whole school and teacher. My son has been studying at Challenger since Kindergarten. I have seen many negative reviews, so I decide to write a real reviews. First of all, Challenger is not for all the child, but for me it fits well for a hard working children. For many of parents who I meet in the challenger, we like to talk about the school system between challenger and other school. we all think that Challenger is a good quality education for parents who really want to invests their children in the best educational ,which provides support for the curriculum and instructional process. Next, I truly appreciate the whole school help my son to establish a high stand for himself, and keep wanting to improve his math and English skills. Elementary school is the first phase of a child's formal education, and the Challenger school help a lot of my son's first milestone set to build a strong good academic fundation.

We love Challenger Berryessa for our daughter who has been into the preschool program: preschool and currently in pre-K on the path to join Kindergarten this Fall. In the last two years, It's a rewarding experience to see her grow into a confident, curious, and a happy child. Challenger offers curriculum focused on providing solid foundation into reading/ math/ and logic. My daughter has been reading fluently and developed penmanship skills before she turned 5 years old. Though every child is different, I believe it was Challenger's structured well rounded curriculum along with a loving/ nurturing environment has been the key to this outcome. The management esp. program director, Ms. Anna Alvarado alongside the administration is very proactive in communication and establish guidelines keeping the kids safe. A special mention to the teachers Ms. Kristina and Ms. Romina (both from the pre-K), who are not only well qualified but love what they teach. We are delighted to have found Challenger Berryessa for our family.

Challenger schools are not for everybody. Their academic standards are high (especially reading, writing, and math), and they hold certain values dear (for e.g., individualism and self-worth). They expect good behavior and deliberate practice -- day in and day out. This may not align with every parent's idea of the ideal school for their kid. Even if it did, the kid may not enjoy doing things the Challenger way. But when all things align, it is the most beautiful experience. We would not do it any other way.
