My two children (boy 4 and girl 5) attended Challenger for pre-K. This is a first class program that is very well run and organized. We interacted with teachers across the younger pre-school programs and all of them were fantastic. I felt that my children were in great hands and getting the best educational experience possible. If your thinking about placing your children in a challenger program, please know that they will "learn" and "grow" over the course of the year. It truely was a pleasure having my kids start their education here.
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 daughter was in PreK 4 here. The learning is very robotic, not much free expression at all. Not a lot of individual attention. The head master is pretty condescending. The communication between parents and teachers was AWFUL. My daughter did do well, but she was on the older side of the class and already knew a lot of the information taught. She did seem to develop some anxiety with how the discipline was conducted and just with how the teacher/child relationships were presented there. We chose to attend a different private school for kindergarten.
If you love your children, please don’t send them here.
• Teachers do not comfort children when they are crying.
• My daughter had a fever of 100°F during the school day, and the teacher didn’t even notice.
• My 3.5-year-old developed emotional and mental health struggles while attending this school.
• The school consistently shows a lack of empathy toward both children and parents.
• The principal is skilled at giving polished answers to parents, but not at solving problems.
• Learning here feels robotic and outdated. In an era where our children will grow up alongside AI, this school shows no sign of adapting to the future.
We transferred to another school. Only 2 weeks so far, my daughter’s mental health issues seem to be fading away. She looks happy again, and having fun in new school. So glad we left Challenger summerlin campus, especially this campus. No wonder why this campus gets the lowest ratings in the Las Vegas area.
Regret having my child enrolled here. If you want your child to be a robot academically then this is the school for you. Neither the headmaster or the regional director understand child behavior. Headmaster is very disrespectful and condescending. She is quick to assume. Broken record on repeat and made it clear her only concern is the schools reputation.
My child deserves better.
um, I graduated from this school a few years ago, Not going to lie, I hated this school, and I was a decent student stuff like that (didn't fail anything). I hated the headmaster because she talked down on us a lot and acted like we weren't capable of making our own choices but then she expected us to act like fully grown perfect adults if you know what that means. The teachers aren't really trained or have degrees- I go to school in CCSD now and all the teachers have degrees in some sort of field- it seems they just are teaching for the free tuition. Ms Johnson (headmaster) also really favored some people that im pretty sure she rigged some things in there favor (her son I heard was a huge bully when I was there) like rigging them onto student council. I got bullied by some of the people she favored (they made fun of my weight, race, etc) also they really normalized racial slurs (we only had a group of asians and white people in our grade so like it was normalized for my peers to make jokes about other races) Also they really forced the idea of "capitalism is so wonderful" on us and then they tried convincing us billionaires are so good and stuff, also they wanted to spread like republican ideals onto us? They told us we didn't deserve free education or have free healthcare etc. We had a huge lack of extracurriculars, our science olympiad team was horrible, also the only good teachers were Mr. Ashley and Ms. Orea. Also it was sooooo expensive my sibling's tuition plus my own was around 40 grand, not worth it for the price at all. Also they made us see things only one sided, like in debates it seemed like we could only win if we on the "good" side which was horrible for education. Ooh wait they also really tried forcing us to go to Bishop Gorman High School because I heard that challenger gets a little of the profit if we go there (which is around 15 grand per kid a year) Also we were taught little about other areas as well as other cultures around the world; I couldn't name most countries in Africa or Asia- and then my classmates would make fun of other cultures. Overall a horrible experience and I do not wish it upon anyone. (btw i went from preschool all the way to 8th grade) Do not come here if you want ur child to have education!
