management treats their teachers like products to replaced

Pros

The only pro I really have is that the children were very well behaved since they start at Challenger around age 3 usually.

Cons

management treats teachers with disrespect, they act as though they are perfect and can do no wrong, salary is next to nothing... teachers that are working well over 40 hours a week are getting half of what teachers get at a public school

don't waste your time here, they won't appreciate you

Pros

I loved teaching the children and interacting with parents. Pre-school program is good as far as academics.

Cons

No place for advancement if you work hard, on the other hand if management really likes you then you will move up quickly. Hard work and dedication are over looked. They do not treat all students and parents the same. If you are a parent that conforms to what the school thinks your child needs then you will be fine, if not they will show you the door. Management sucks, there is no communication and there is lack of guidance. Curriculum is dated back to the 80's, some information taught to students is incorrect because they won't update the curriculum. Sometimes a class may run out of curriculum and they won't inform parents. There is no PE, Cafeteria, or Library... at times seems more like a cult then a school.

Pros

Good curriculum. Encourage kids to think. Good training for lower elementary.

Cons

Extremely poor and incompetent managers and directors. Inconsistency in everything except curriculum. Focus only on Math and English. Not worth the money.
