Parent Reviews
My daughter loves this school and attending it since preschool. Teachers are very good and friendly. They teach kids in a fun and friendly environment especially phonics and grammar, math, logic, science and geography all learned in a fun way and she doesn't feel stressed out with lots of things learning at the same time. They not only focus academically, but also on extra curricular activities like Art, Singing, Sports, Public Speaking, Presentations, Writing Stories, Computers, Logic, Science Fairs etc. They also provide lots of activities during extended care time. My daughter finishes her homework, test preparations, etc during the extended time itself and is self reliant and independently performs her tasks without any help. The kids usually come from different cultures and my daughter is very happy to learn all the different cultures around the world. A strong foundation is built since her preschool and overall, we are very happy with our child's progress.
Challenger is an amazing school with focus on academic excellence. If you are a parent interested in providing a strong academic foundation for your child esp. in Math, English Grammar, Science, Coding, Logic, Speaking, Writing...then Challenger is the place. Great teachers and caring staff.
