As a teacher and a parent of a pre-school age student I am embarrassed that I sent my child to Challenger. The incredible academic pressure on these little children is in complete contrast to what students can achieve at their developmental level. To expect a 3- or 4-year-old to sit through a 30-minute lesson boggles the mind. And the schools philosophy on individualism will not build teamwork for the future. If you want your child to read and write before they learn to cooperate and share--Challenger is your school!
Pros: Great drop-off and pick-up routine.
Cons: Too much academic pressure. Not many credentialed teachers.
