Pros
I’ve been with Challenger through the Barbara Baker years and the transition to Hugh’s leadership. Over the course of those many years, i have had totally different experiences based on who was acting as headmaster or director. Some campuses and directors have been great! Others not so much! Solid and easy to follow curriculum Consumables (less photocopying) Good natured kids Some campuses - strong, helpful and positive directors and headmasters.
Cons
Other campuses - Punitive, ignorant, or less supportive leadership. Lack of technology and evolution with the times in the classroom creates challenges in student retention and content delivery (especially science) Lots of grading and constant testing When directors aren’t supportive, parents can become a nightmare CEO isn’t very realistic or considerate towards teachers and parents concerns Pay could be more competitive given outside classroom work expectations
