Desert Hills

I was a bit intimidated by their academic standards for preschoolers - My thoughts initially were "they're expected to learn all that by when?!" Midway through the year, my thoughts were "He can read all that?!" Play is extremely important at this age, and Challenger makes learning really fun for the kids. My kid actually gets mad at me for picking him up early, a sentiment that several other parents have also shared. After understanding how well our son retains the information based on Challenger's teaching methods, I am a believer. The classrooms are spacious and bright, the program is organized and clear, the staff are professional and friendly. We are so grateful for such wonderful teachers (shout out to Ms. Julie!!). The front office staff and teachers are friendly and warm, Ms. Hailey is on TOP of everything, but also very understanding and informative. I am always impressed how they remember all the students' and siblings' names, how they know which students are whose, and how organized and patient the staff is. Ultimately, parents just want kids to be safe and happy - and competent. Challenger has done that and more for our kids. Most parents that we've met here are on the same page in terms of values. We personally couldn't be happier with our decision.

Our daughter attended from age 3 until we moved in the middle of second grade. I absolutely adore this school, the staff and curriculum. The curriculum is tough but they make sure everyone succeeds. Also appreciate the values of the school.

We have 2 sons, 5 and 12, both of whom went to Challenger Desert Hills. Our experience has been nothing short of amazing. Prior to Challenger our boys attended Goddard, Coronado Prep, Hand In Hand, Creative Kids, Kiddie Academy and Shenker. At each location we we're informed our boys were too high energy, don't listen, disruptive and we were eventually asked to leave. My husband and I were at a loss as to what we did wrong. We couldn't figure out how our kids behaved well at home, but at preschool they were unbearable for the caretakers. Both our sons went to Challenger Desert Hills around 3.5 years old and we were immediately surprised at the results. Our kids didn't cry during drop off, they were annoyed when we picked them up early because they wanted to stay longer. The best of all was how they told us in detail about their day; this didn't happen at other places. We cannot thank Ms. Kelly, Ms. Haley, Ms. Julie, Ms. Anna and countless other at the school for how they positively impacted our lives. Our boys were excited to go to school, loved learning and adore reading. Thank you Challenger Desert Hills!

This school is truly exceptional and professional—from the front desk staff to the teachers, everyone is phenomenal. Hailey is the best! My son has shown great improvement in his learning, and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a effective learning environment.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Challenger School! The school has provided an incredible foundation for our daughter, fostering both her academic growth and social development. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and truly go above and beyond to ensure each child reaches their potential. The curriculum is well-rounded, challenging, and engaging, giving students a strong foundation in core subjects while also encouraging creativity and critical thinking. Our daughter comes home excited to share what she's learned, and we've seen her confidence and curiosity flourish. Challenger School has been an exceptional choice for our family, and we highly recommend it to any parent looking for a top-quality education!
