As Challenger parents, you’ve probably seen that your child’s knowledge and skills can create a positive sensation among other parents. Starting early and starting right makes a significant difference. Challenger makes the most of the early years because doing so yields unmatched results for students.
The purpose of education at Challenger is explained in our mission. Our mission influences decisions in all areas, from children having homework to manage by themselves in kindergarten to encouraging students at all ages to respect their own rights and other students’ rights.
