CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT

Continuous enrollment eliminates the hassle of submitting paper re-enrollment packets every year. When a student enrolls at Challenger, he or she will automatically be re-enrolled each year until graduation or withdrawal.

Continuous enrollment offers the security and benefit of priority status as well as a discounted tuition rate for returning kindergarten through eighth-grade students. Plus, there are no application fees for academic-year programs.

ACCEPTANCE

Parents will be notified of acceptance and student placement via written notification. Class placement is based on several factors, including scholastic expectations, student motivation, and comportment.

Testing or submission of an application does not guarantee a child’s acceptance.
