Challenger School - Middlefield was a pioneer in the Bay Area, being among the first to offer in-person learning during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a lifesaver for our family and our four-year-old at the time. Most impressively, they maintained a safe environment with no outbreaks, making it an easy decision to enroll our second child for preschool. Both our children truly love it here. The teachers and staff are exceptionally warm and caring, fostering an environment where the kids learn significantly while having fun. Most importantly, I have total peace of mind knowing my children are in a safe, kind environment where bullying is simply not a concern.

Great academic growth and dedicated staff 👏👏👏 I wanted to share our positive experience with Challenger School. Our son is currently in KG, and we have been incredibly impressed with his development. Mrs. Sharma is an exceptional teacher. She ensures that he stays focused and grasps all the core concepts, and her communication with us regarding his progress—including specific areas for improvement—has been invaluable. We also appreciate the leadership of the director, Ms. Sharon. She actively track his progress and takes the time to give us updates, which shows how much the administration cares about individual students. We are very satisfied parents!
We are very pleased with our son’s kindergarten journey at Challengers Middlefield school. The curriculum is excellent and has helped him develop strong reading skills, especially in English. He can now read complex words with confidence. He is a shy child by nature, but the teachers Miss Tamy and Miss Sharma have done a wonderful job nurturing his confidence. He now enjoys participating in group activities and performances without fear. We truly appreciate the teachers patience, encouragement, and commitment to every child’s growth. Highly recommend this school!
