Challenger School - Summerlin 9900 West Isaac Newton Way, Las Vegas, NV 89129

"Absolutely love this school and the teachers here. My girls are thriving and developing a love of learning, independence and self confidence. Thank you for all you do"

"My son attended preschool and kindergarten here several years ago. It was such a pleasant and uplifting experience for him. We moved out of state and haven't found the same comfortable yet academic environment. You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone."

"This school is an excellent first step for any little. We sent our 3 year old there and while she was hesitant because it was all new, they knew exactly how to handle her. Very well run and after three weeks she is recognizing her letters on random papers singing songs we have not taught her and has become much more social in any setting we are in. Very proud of our little girl but know she could not have taken these bigs steps with out the help from challenger."

"My daughter went to Challenger for preschool, pre k and the beginning of kindergarten. She also attended summer school for both pre school and pre k. The preschool and pre k programs my daughter loved. She is extremely artistic and musical so their program fit her well. She learned how to read and write. We had some problems with bullying but was able to get it taken care of after a lot of follow up. HOWEVER.....kindergarten was a nightmare. Within the first week my daughter was miserable. She couldn't tell my why, just that she didn't like her school anymore. I got called into a meeting after 2 1/2 weeks of kindergarten and was told by the head mistress (horrible woman) that my daughter was not able to continue kindergarten due to fidgeting, getting bored, playing with her tie etc. Did I mention she was 4? When I asked the teacher what her day in class was like I was told there was no longer any art and no longer any singing. It was 8 hours of reading, writing and math. They didn't allow any drawing or anything artistic until all the lessons had been done for the day and all homework completed. They allowed no questions (I asked if the kids were allowed to question - the answer was no). I was not allowed in the classroom nor were the teachers allowed to give me daily or weekly information about how my daughter was doing because the head mistress didn't want the children to feel like they were a in "a police state" and wanted them to be "responsible for themselves". When I pointed out that she is 4 the headmistress said that they were putting her back in pre k and that was that. I pulled my daughter out that week and enrolled her in Merryhill Private School. She has had no problems and they work with what ever the parents and children need. I knew a lot of parents that enrolled their kids in challenger for preschool and pre k but never understood why until I dealt with that headmistress. After I pulled my daughter out of Challenger she called and left a message saying that my 4 year old daughter was a very valuable client. That right there sums up her problem, our children don't matter to her. The money her "clients" bring in does."

"I attended from preschool through eighth grade and loved every single day at this school. The teachers really connected with us, taught us to think critically, and inspired us to apply rationality in our every action. I had a very happy and well-rounded childhood because of this school."
