When you walk into the school, the principal and office staff are standing in the lobby greeting parents and children as they enter. All the teachers are standing at their door with a student leader to great each child with a verbal welcome and a handshake before entering the room. They start the kids day by treating them as little adults, empowering them to behave as such. The school goals and standards are posted everywhere, along with how they are doing in regard to those goals and standards. They set high standards of their teaches and the kids as well. They focus on the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People written, coached and practiced in ways that the kids understand. This is the back bone of their approach to education and it works. The principal is loved by the kids and he loves them. I think his leadership of the school is what has made them so successful.

My son is currently enrolled in their preschool program and everything happened as a blessing in…read moredisguise and I am so glad it all happened this way. First, my son was going to a different preschool but due to change of schedules we had to find a full day preschool so we checked into Challenger. Mainly because putting him in a dayCare after his 3 hour preschool from his other school is never an option for us. I'd rather him go to an actual school where he can learn instead of a daycare. When doing our research some people made comments that a Challenger is very 'militant' and it's not fun and very strict, etc. We came here for a tour and it was fine. We decided to enrol him and a few days of being in school-WOW! Now that preschool is almost to an end my son feels sad. My son has changed big time. He's more confident now, extremely independent and most specially when I prepare his lunch he does NOT want me to put chocolates in his lunch box. He will tell me it's not healthy. Challenger really "challenges" the kids. They enhance the kid's skills, push them to be better and help them to be extremely smarter. I cannot even explain how much I love this school. My son will come home and talk about different dinosaurs, different kids of clouds etc. their curriculum is superv advance for a preschool and I love it! My son is super desciplined and it is something I love with Challenger. --- Challenger does not want you to bring treats and gifts during birthdays and Halloween or other occasions and they don't solicit which I admire. This goes to show that they are here to help kids and educate them. That's it. They are not here to collect anything that is not related to the kids' education. You do not need to be fancy and buy unecessary treats or gifts. --- EVERYONE knows my son and I mean everyone from msLisa and all the staff at the front desk to the director and all substitute teachers. They make the kids feel at ease that's for sure. They are very welcoming which helps kids to be excited to be here. --- they CARE period. I just had a baby and my son's teachers knew when I had it so the next day my son went to school they handed him their present for our baby. Now tell me, how will you not love this school? --- my son adores his teachers msAmy, msMiranda and msMelia. When we gave them a little something for Christmas you won't believe this, a teacher wrote my son a thank you card! Some teachers/schools they are not appreciative of that and it's like receiving a present for Christmas is just part of the game but not in Challenger. They really teach values to kids and even apply those values and be role models. I can go on and on but this school is amazing. My son can read and spell at the age of 4. Learning has become so easy for him ever since he started going to Challenger. We also talked about the possibility of going out of state or leaving the school if we enrolled him for kindergarten since they get the early enrollment discount. MsLisa explained to us that the refund will apply but outside the discount price which is understandable. What I am saying here is they are good at explaining details and fees and all that. This place is amazing and I've been recommending Challenger to my officemates who bring their kids to daycare because the price is comparable but you get more out of your money. The investment on your kids education and how they develop, Challenger is the place for that.

Based on public records and detailed reviews from 2024 through 2026, recurring complaints describe…read moreresidents being left unsafe around peer violence and inappropriate touching; punitive "stabilization," isolation, restricted communication, and restraints; medication problems or delayed medical care; unsanitary conditions and poor food; limited meaningful therapy, education, recreation, or discharge planning; invasive searches and inadequate privacy; and staff mockery, retaliation, or inaccurate incident reporting. Reviewers also repeatedly say advertised amenities such as the pool, ropes courses, and climbing walls were unavailable. A minority of reviewers praised individual clinicians or said the program helped them, but that does not erase the consistency of the adverse accounts or their overlap with independent regulatory findings. One of the most disturbing items is an official Provo Canyon School article published June 30, 2026. It presented a 7-to-14-day communication "blackout" as beneficial, explaining that direct parent-child contact would be paused so teens would be forced to rely on staff and peers rather than call home to vent or "ask to be rescued." The article also warned parents that children might beg to leave and characterized reduced defiance and acceptance of the environment as progress. Because it referred to "many facilities," the article alone does not prove PCS imposed this policy on every resident. It does show the school endorsing a structure that removes a newly admitted child's independent family-reporting channel and primes parents to discount a genuine plea for help. Utah Code 26B-2-123 requires weekly confidential family communication, while the current licensing rule requires individualized documentation and written approval for modifications and says a blanket practice cannot satisfy that requirement. A true 14-day blackout, or any restriction that eliminated weekly confidential contact, would conflict unless an approved exception applied. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry warns against withholding family contact, and a 2024 Senate investigation of Universal Health Services and other operators found that residential treatment facilities often cut children off by limiting family communication and documented both staff-on-youth and youth-on-youth sexual abuse. This does not prove the PCS article caused any specific abuse, but it explains why this kind of isolation can make physical or sexual abuse harder to report and detect. These concerns are reinforced by Utah's 2026 findings. After a resident was assaulted, knocked unconscious, and left with life-threatening head injuries, regulators found that PCS had failed to act on documented threats and transfer requests, failed to protect the child, and delayed emergency care by arranging non-medical transportation instead of calling 911. Utah later revoked both campus licenses, citing chronic noncompliance that included failures to protect children from violence, unsafe restraint and behavior-management practices, abuse and mistreatment, inducing pain for compliance, punishment intended to frighten or humiliate, deprivation of water, rest, or toileting, retaliation for reporting rights violations, and failures involving staffing, background checks, medical care, sanitation, and incident reporting. These were regulatory findings, not merely social-media allegations, and they are difficult to reconcile with the school's marketing of close supervision, medication management, intensive therapy, education, and recreation. The operator disputes the revocations and has appealed, but I would not consider placement here unless the documented failures are resolved through transparent, independent, and sustained compliance.

He wasn't happy there, so we returned to Art City Elementary for second grade with Ms. Roylance.
