Challenger School is pricey, but not when you understand that the fees charged are the ONLY fees you pay. There is no sales of candy and wrapping paper or other money grabs to hide a higher tuition.
Challenger School makes an effort to provide a service to its customers. Those customers might not be you. That's fine. Target or JC Pennys...hum...why do we choose? Every type of education is not for all people. Challenger is what it is and does not pretend to be something else. I and 45 years worth of students think it is pretty cool to go to Challenger School!

AVOID this school if you can. Everyone you deal with has an attitude, including the minions at the front desk. Teacher turnover is alarming and $$$$$$

1 Stars: Is this a school? (by Masy H.)

This is not a school, but a drain hole for our hard earned money. Some Teachers are hi-tech industry drop outs with no training whatsoever, no social skills.

2 Stars: To work with all the kids (by Rajesh K.)

Overall the structure and the standard is very good. But they don't work withe average students and try to bring the best in them. They only promote the brainy students for everything. This includes quiz, bees, Christmas /spring programs. They only encourage their best kids for all these activities. The teachers do this so that they can present a good picture. So again and again the same kids win. The average kids are not encouraged to do their best.

Challenger teachers should be trained not to be partial with children. This makes the other children feel inferior.

5 Stars: Great Experience. Great Outcome. (by Eliot J.)

Our children attended the Sunnyvale campus of Challenger. We had a universally great experience. We loved the principal, Mr. Grapes and found the teachers challenging, helpful and genuinely interested in our children and their learning and success. They finished at least 2 years ahead of their public school counterparts and with a love of learning and reading that their friends just don't have. We would highly recommend Challenger School.
