About Challenger School

The next step in your child’s learning journey just might be Challenger School! Challenger School welcomes the families of Austin with a center-based setting where students can learn, laugh, play and grow alongside peers of similar ages and non-family adults that specialize in developing the learning skills critical for the years ahead. Center-based environments like at Challenger School are popular choices with families that value a school-like environment and the socialization opportunities that come with a strong peer set! With a full-time schedule, Challenger School further provides what parents want in care and education. Full-time care allows students to get the best of a real community outside of the home - chock full of learning, laughter, play and fun - with the strength of a structured program and structured day that’ll benefit them down the road. Parents get the time they need to work while watching their children grow leaps and bounds in language and cognitive development. In addition, Challenger School teaches a mixed-age curriculum that facilities peer learning and communal growth. In a mixed-age classroom like at Challenger School, students receive open-ended, stimulating activities and are encouraged to move at their own pace. Younger students receive help and encouragement from older students, boosting their confidence and self-esteem, and older students get to lend a helping hand, teaching empathy and the joy of giving. Mixed-age learning replicates the best of a family or neighborhood group structure as children socialize with peers a little ahead or a little behind their own development path.
