We are thrilled with our experience at Challenger School (Harwood Campus) this year! Our son is in the 4-year preschool program, and the growth we have seen in him is remarkable. A huge part of this success is due to his incredible teachers, Ms. Lourenda and Ms. Samita. They are a great team--warm, attentive, and dedicated to the students. You can tell they truly care about each child's individual progress. They have created such a disciplined yet joyful environment where our son feels confident and excited to learn every day. Academically, the curriculum is fantastic. Our son is currently learning vowel blending, which is a good achievement for his age! It is wonderful to watch him building such strong reading skills so early on. Thank you, Ms. Lourenda, Ms. Samita, and the entire Challenger Harwood team for giving our son such a strong foundation. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send him here!

This is an excellent school. The pre school teachers Miss Ramya, Miss Anu and Miss Lorenda take great care of the children and help them learn in a safe, nurturing environment. I have another kid in 4th grade Miss Bagchi's class and we have a very positive experience. Miss Sukaina at the office is always willing to help us with any queries and the new principal Mrs Panesar has been making some good changes.

My child has been going to this school for over 6 months now (Pre-K). The entire staff and administration is very friendly and helpful. They have sturdy pickup and drop off rules in conformance to covid guidelines. My child has been thriving here and I see that the teachers take an effort in teaching the kids, reminding them of courtesy and their responsibility. Our child loves going to school and loves his teachers. We have interacted with the teachers from the 3 year and 4 year programs and they are all amazing! The campus is beautiful and play area facilities look great! Also, their uniform is really cute! Can't wait for my second one to start school here soon!
