Middlefield

Our family has had a wonderful experience with Challenger School. My children have either graduated from Challenger or are still attending, and the consistency of their positive experiences over the years speaks volumes about the school’s quality. One of the things I appreciate most is Challenger’s well structured and academically focused curriculum. The program prepares students extremely well for the next stages of their educational journey. Challenger does not just emphasize depth in core subjects; it also offers impressive breadth. Students explore hands on science experiments, speech and public speaking, art, computer programming, and many more. The variety of subjects keeps learning engaging and helps students develop confidence across multiple disciplines. The school year also offers more instructional days than local public school. The teachers and staff are caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in each student’s success. Educators like Mr. Buccellato, Ms. Outhabong, and Ms. Madhavi stand out as some of the best we have ever encountered, though we have been fortunate enough to meet many wonderful teachers at Challenger. Their professionalism and dedication create a learning environment where students feel supported and motivated, which is one of the reasons my kids are excited to go to school every morning. My older daughter, now a high school junior, often reflects on how well Challenger prepared her for a competitive academic environment. She consistently feels confident and well equipped compared to peers coming from various public feeder schools. That foundation really has made a meaningful difference in her high school experience. Overall, I highly recommend Challenger School to families seeking a well rounded, academically strong, and positive learning environment. Our experience has been outstanding, and I am grateful for the solid educational foundation Challenger has provided for my children.

We have had a wonderful experience at Challenger Middlefield. Most importantly, my son absolutely loves it here! He’s in the 3-year old preschool class. The teachers are incredibly warm and welcoming, which has made a huge difference in his excitement for school every day. Highly recommend!

We’ve had a truly positive experience at Challenger Middlefield Preschool, and I’m so happy we chose this school for our son. The environment is warm, well-organized, and focused on both learning and social development. He looks forward to going to school every day, which gives us a lot of peace of mind as parents. Ms. Azita and Ms. Melissa are wonderful teachers who genuinely care about their students. They are patient, attentive, and great at communicating with families. We’ve seen real growth in our son's confidence, independence, and enthusiasm for learning since he started here. It’s clear the teachers put a lot of heart into what they do, and it shows in how happy and engaged the kids are. We highly recommend Challenger Middlefield Preschool to any family looking for a supportive and high-quality preschool experience.

We have had a very positive experience with Challenger Middlefield School Campus thus far. Our daughter started in the 4s class in August 2025, and we have seen her grow and thrive since then, both academically and socially. We have noticed meaningful improvements in her habits, confidence, and public speaking skills. We are so glad that this school has been such a wonderful fit for our daughter and our family. The management is attentive, and the day to day operations of the school are efficiently run. Every staff member we have interacted with across various roles has been extremely professional, caring, and approachable. One thing we truly appreciate is how most of the staff know every child by name, which speaks volumes about the sense of community at the school. Ms. Sharon, the Director of Elementary, has been exceptional and is always on top of things. She has consistently been responsive to our questions and has treated even the smallest questions or suggestions with importance. On multiple occasions, she has followed up to close the loop, which we truly appreciate. Two months in, I noticed my daughter was almost always sweating during her naps and when I brought it up, Ms. Sharon worked with Ms.Madhu and Ms.Nupur to help my daughter feel comfortable and they followed up few times in the next couple weeks to make sure it was taken care of. Ms. Sharon has also called me directly to answer some of the generic questions I had emailed over to their school's generic email. It is reassuring to see a management team that is diligent in making things smooth for both kids and parents. From the initial school tour to the enrollment process and our daughter’s transition into the school, every step has been handled professionally. As with any organization, there were a couple of minor hiccups along the way, but the team was always responsive, communicative, and quick to resolve issues, typically within a day or two. Ms. Madhu and Ms. Nupur have been wonderful teachers and have played a major role in making our daughter’s transition so smooth. They give students a strong sense of belonging and create an environment where children feel seen and supported. They provide the space for students to grow and learn while being warm, consistent, and intentional about discipline, teaching boundaries in a way that is respectful and age appropriate. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to going to school every day, which says everything.

Challenger School has been a wonderful experience for our child. The academic program is very strong, and we really appreciate the structured curriculum and high expectations. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and always communicate well with parents. We have seen significant improvement in our child’s reading, math, and overall confidence. The school environment is safe, organized, and focused on learning. We are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend Challenger School to other families.
