Very very weak in STEM education. The computer teacher let students read books on their own and provided minimal instructions in class. Mathematics classes use very old textbook. The Mathematics teacher is not good at mathematics at all and confused students most of the time. Students Wasted a lot of time learning cursive writing While they could have learned something far more important. read more

My son did 2 years of preschool and kindergarten at the Traverse Mtn location. He loved loved loved the school. It's advanced, he was reading everything and phonics also before K. And it was all fun for him. We never went to Summer school there so from the experience I had, my son was totally able to catch up without the Summer program. Maybe I started him early...... anyways I don't regret my decision and he misses his first school! Now he's enrolled in public school (which honestly is not great since he's learning things that he has learned two years ago) but he's learning Portuguese for free (my native language) and for my family this is our priority. We love Challenger School read more

Such a great school, going in a new direction! I love their focus on igniting passion and creativity for tomorrow's leaders!

After informing them I would be taking legal action, they dropped the charges against me. I will upload one more star..

Love this school! And it's worth every penny! My 3 kids went here as we transitioned from Florida public school standards. We needed something to help my kids get up to par or past Utah standards. This school is amazing. All 3 of my kids loved this school, the teachers, and their classmates. They were enrolled through the summer program and it blew my mind how much they were learning and how much they enjoyed the advanced curriculum. I wish we would have moved here sooner so that my kids could stay enrolled through the academic year. Unfortunately with my kids so close in age, we could not hold my 1st grader back because his younger brother was so eager to move up to kindergarten and I did not want them in the same grade. But what they were able to accomplish in the summer months set them up for success in their public charter school curriculum. We miss this school! If you can't enroll your kids here, go to the front desk and ask for their Challenger Phonics box. It's an amazing tool and no apps or electronics are needed to get your kids reading. 1000% recommend! read more

My son is currently enrolled in their preschool program and everything happened as a blessing in disguise 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. read more

Ill be honest the school/ academics are fine for preschool (not a huge difference from any other school) but their office is why i am writing this review. I was referred to challenger so they told me i got a 15% discount. Half way through the year my referral had to move out of state so they took that discount away. They never relayed this me and didn't give me any notice. They also gave away my financial information/balance to someone who was not authorized on the account. They were extremely rude and refused to explain the information to me about how one of my payments went from 593.13 to 914.00 from taking away the 15% discount. BE CAREFUL!!! Education is fine but would be careful with the ethics of the office read more

My daughter started preschool here in March 2016. She did the summer program and just started 4 year old preschool (Fall 2016). We LOVE Challenger. It has been the perfect solution for us. I work part time and needed child care and didn't want a stinky day care. Challenger to the rescue! She is getting a wonderful education and having so much fun. The staff is friendly and the teachers are great. My daughter never complains about going to school. She is usually there from 9am-5pm on MWF. You can choose between TTh, MWF, or everyday, full or half day. At the preschool level the prices are really competitive. I was paying about $40/day for 2 hour preschool and neighborhood child care. With Challenger I pay about $47/day and I'm getting more hours of care and she's getting a much better education. The curriculum is challenging and pushes the kids, but they're really ready for it and the teachers teach it in such a fun way that it really soaks in. I also love the way they discipline and teach the kids to be responsible for their choices. We are beyond pleased with our choice to go to Challenger. (Plus, the kids look so darn cute in their uniforms!) read more

My daughter attended the 3-day all day 3 year old program and loved every minute! She really did well with the program that she was in. I was shocked when she starting reciting the pledge of allegiance all by herself. The teachers she had were just wonderful! They were patient and kind with these little ones and definitely got incredible results. My daughter still talks about Miss Lindsay and Miss Stacie all the time. I'd send her there again in a heartbeat if we still lived in Utah! read more
