    Incredible education and character building. My son graduated from Challenger Strawberry Park this spring after eight years with the program. He's now at Bellarmine (got in to all his high schools, BTW) and finding it a very comfortable fit, academically and socially. Challenger contributed a lot to his development as a person, and looking back now at the arc of the whole experience, I conclude it is all that one could hope for. Not a single complaint about a single teacher -- they are all top-notch -- knowledgeable, exemplary, and caring. The new headmaster is wonderful and I appreciate what she is doing for the program and kids. Important work. Highly recommend.

    My son attended the half-day Pre-K program here and loved it so much! Before coming, he had never been to daycare or preschool and didn’t speak any English, so we were a bit nervous at first. But the teachers — especially Ms. Smitha were incredibly caring, patient, and encouraging, helping him adjust quickly and making him feel safe and happy every day. Over the year, he learned so much — not only academically, but also in English, social skills, and confidence. This fall he will be moving on to Kindergarten, and while we’re excited for the next chapter, he will truly miss his teachers and this wonderful school. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done for him!

    Ms. Smitha is a fantastic teacher! My son attended the half-day Pre-K program and absolutely loved it. The program itself is well-structured and very helpful—it gave him a strong foundation and made the transition to kindergarten smooth and successful.

    The school has an excellent curriculum. However, the school lunch is... worse than it seems when you purchase it online. However, overall... The school's a good learning experience. You just have to see if you're fit for the school or not. It isn't as bad as other reviews say... But in all honesty, I only know what the middle school is like, and it isn't that bad. You have to trust other reviews for their opinion on elementary school.
