Challenger Basic School "Real Answers for Today's Education" Challenger Basic School has been a great school for my children. They receive a good education with a good curriculum taught by enthusiastic teachers that love to teach. The atmosphere of Challenger Basic School is a friendly neighborhood school with beautiful, clean campus. They take pride in their school. They care about their students learning and education.   --Julie   Our child has attended CBS since its inception three years ago. We are pleased with our child's progress, academic ability, and teaching staff. Challenger Basic School has lived up to its claims that our child would be challenged and academically excel a couple of grades ahead of the traditional public school. What we also love about CBS is the smaller campus and smaller student to teacher ratio. Everybody knows everybody, and cares about all of the students. Staff and administration know your name. It's definitely a private school feel with all of the benefits, without the tuition cost.   --Grace and Jack Richards   I have two children attending Challenger Basic School. Although I have the luxury of having a school right near my home, I chose instead to have my children attend Challenger, which is about a twenty-minute drive. I do this because the curriculum is much better than at the public school, and my children are learning at a much deeper level. I value the structure and organization of the school. With smaller class sizes the teachers and staff take a personal interest and my children get the attention they need. I feel that it is definitely worth my efforts to drive them to a school that has as many benefits as Challenger.   --Jennifer Nielson   Comments or questions on the web site? (click here)
