My daughter has blossomed under the wonderful teacher's care and guidance from the 3-year-old program through Kindergarten. It was a joy watching my 4 year old read restaurant menus and order her own food. I highly recommend Challenger School - Harwood for a strong academic foundation. A special shoutout to Director Miss Kari and her amazing teachers: Miss Anu, Miss Ramya, Miss Lorenda, Miss Samitha, Miss Kapadia, and Miss Robles!

Both of my children attend Challenger School at Harwood, and we have had a wonderful experience. They are doing well academically and have become more confident and independent. My daughter joined in third grade. Her teachers were patient and helped her understand each concept well while encouraging her to challenge herself. She also learned cursive writing, which was not taught at her previous school, and this helped her take notes faster in higher grades. We also appreciate the activities beyond regular classroom learning, including singing performances, Christmas sing-alongs, science fairs, spelling bees, and Halloween celebrations. These gave our children opportunities to explore their interests, participate with their classmates, and become more comfortable presenting and performing in front of others. My daughter especially enjoyed these events. She loved going to school and would feel upset whenever she had to miss a day. Both children have also learned to be more organized and take responsibility for their belongings, including packing their own bags and keeping track of their things. We are very thankful to the teachers and management for their care, patience, and dedication. They have helped our children grow through both learning and the many activities that make school enjoyable. We would happily recommend Challenger School to other families.

A wonderful school with caring and dedicated teachers. They help children become independent and self-reliant by giving them opportunities to solve problems, make choices, and take responsibility. Their thoughtful approach helps children build confidence and feel proud of their progress. We truly appreciate the positive impact they have on the children's learning and growth!

Our family has had a wonderful experience at Challenger’s Harwood campus. Our older son attended from Pre-K through elementary school graduation, and when it was time for our younger son to start school, choosing Harwood again was an easy decision. He started at age three and has been attending ever since. The teachers have been caring, dedicated, and supportive, and the campus is a lovely, welcoming place to learn. We’ve been impressed by how much both children have learned and the strong academic foundation they’ve built. It has been wonderful to watch them grow in confidence and independence over the years. We’re truly grateful to the Harwood teachers and staff for being such an important part of our children’s lives!
