Challenger School - West Jordan

This school has been a very disappointing experience. It is overpriced, and they continue to send notices asking for additional charges. My child and I often feel unwelcome. We are frequently ignored while other children receive full attention. This treatment has made me feel that we may be experiencing discrimination, as the staff seems to be more attentive to white families than to us.

My child and I do not feel welcomed there. Each time I bring my child in, we are never greeted. Even when I walk my child into the classroom, we are ignored while other children receive attention. It makes me feel as though we are not being treated the same because we are not from here.

Our 4 year old son has been attending Challenger School for just two months, and we are beyond impressed! His growth and enthusiasm for learning have been remarkable. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, and the teachers are exceptional in how they engage the students. Kore comes home excited to learn more, often asking to do additional work at home — a clear reflection of how much he enjoys the learning process. We couldn’t be happier with the progress he’s made in such a short time, and the support and structure the school provides are outstanding. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! I wholeheartedly recommend Challenger School to any parent looking for a place that nurtures both academic excellence and a genuine love for learning.

My daughter has attended the West Jordan Challenger school for 4 years and my son has attended for 2 years. We LOVE this campus. Every teacher we have had has been amazing. The teachers are great at engaging the students in the curriculum and they always look like they are having just as much fun as the kids are. My kids always come home from school excited about what they learned and excited to tell me about it. I am also very impressed with Mrs Matthews, the headmaster, because she knows every child's name. The Challenger School curriculum has worked really well for my kids. I initially chose Challenger School because it focused on getting the students reading by the end of preschool. I have been happy with the results as both of my kids were able to sound out words and read very simple stories by the end of 4 year old preschool. Another reason that I chose Challenger School was because of a recommendation that I received from a friend. She had her 3 kids go to two years of preschool at Challenger, and she said that it gave them a love of learning. I found this to be true for my kids as well. The information is presented to the kids in a fun and engaging way. The preschoolers have SO many songs for what they are learning and it made the learning easier and more fun. I would highly recommend Challenger School for anyone who wants their kids to read early, develop a love for learning, and to get ahead academically.

I’m REALLY glad I made the decision to put my daughter here! It was a tough call because it is a little bit pricey for a preschool, but it has been worth every penny and then some. We did a full week schedule from 8-4pm ( although we could have used them from 7am-6pm which is regular hours). My daughter had no interest in learning before and I wasn’t sure how she would do because she had been home with me full time. But, Challenger and the amazing staff including miss Annette made her feel so welcome that she begs to stay for longer every single day. And she loves going to school so much that she wants to have a Challenger birthday party. Ha! Not only that, but she loves learning. And in less than a year has gone from knowing nothing to knowing how to read words with 4-5 letters, do math problems, and has learned some very interesting science facts and historical details. This school is amazing!! And I really don’t have enough words to praise the miracle that Challenger West Jordan is. The kids all seem to love it. We get together with other moms and they have nothing but praise as well. Their academics are way beyond that of public school, and I am going to be sending my other daughter there for summer school to help fill in the gap that she gets from a public education. I can’t recommend Challenger enough. Even if you can only afford it for a bit, it is well worth it if you are looking for a high quality education and a place that your kid wants to go back to each day.
