We started at this school because it was close to our house. It has turned into one of the most transformative experiences our family has ever had. Every single teacher here is full of passion, kindness, and patience that I can only aspire to. Prior to Challenger in Holladay, I didn't think that early childhood education was absolutely critical, but this school has changed my perspective. Both our kids are so excited about math, reading, crafts, and it feels like their baseline is now set for the rest of their lives. They LOVE learning and are proud to show off what they know. They are also independent thinkers who can question and decide for themselves what is right and wrong. Part of me worries this school has set a bar so impossibly high that future schools won't be able to match it. What gives me peace of mind is knowing that Challenger in Holladay and its incredible staff have given our children the solid grounding they need to thrive wherever they go.
Great teaching!
Very easy to work with all staff from a parent standpoint.
Our sons loved it there!
I wish they had more grades in Holladay.

We've sent all four of our children to Challenger School, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.
The teachers are exceptional, and the school's ability to develop strong reading and math skills is truly impressive. Challenger strikes a great balance between a rigorous academic curriculum and opportunities for creativity through art and music. The expectations are high, but they're appropriate and motivating rather than overwhelming.
What sets the school apart is its ability to foster a genuine love of learning while also developing independence and self-discipline. Students are encouraged to take ownership of their work and solve problems on their own. Our children have gained confidence in their abilities and learned to take pride in their accomplishments.
One thing we especially appreciate is that the school teaches children to be self-motivated. They learn to work hard, challenge themselves, and enjoy the satisfaction of mastering new skills. Students are encouraged to strive for excellence while also supporting and celebrating one another's success.
After sending our children through Challenger, we highly recommend it to any family looking for exceptional teachers, strong academics, and a school that helps children become capable, confident, and independent learners.
Amazing. Great teachers and staff. They are the best.
