Pros

Great school to help children learn the basics. The material was well laid out and easy to follow as a teacher.

Cons

The corporate offices shared their political views with the expectation that they would be shared among all the staff. Insisted some employees went to Tea Party rallies.

Pros

It is a great school, and sets an amazing foundation for children attending preschool and kindergarten. Thereafter, it all depends on the child. Challenger School is not for everyone.

Cons

There is a huge gap between kindergarten and first grade. That is when students demonstrate whether they can make it at Challenger any further.

Pros

Enjoy working with the children. You do develop good friendships with some teachers because of your shared love for kids.

Cons

Not a good place to work. A place built on paranoia, because being a good teacher is simply not enough. Supervisors are very unqualified. Instead of children, politics are the most important thing. I spoke to HR about an issue I was hoping to get resolved to better the school, but I was just given lip service. The stress and the amount of work required are simply not worth the pay. Sadly I will look to teach children elsewhere.
