Challenger School - Ardenwood
Challenger built our Ardenwood campus from the ground up in a quiet Newark neighborhood with easy access to I-880 and the Dumbarton Bridge. Classrooms are bright and spacious, the outdoor play areas are large, and we teach preschool through eighth grade on one site. Our day stretches from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m., so families can pick half-day morning, half-day afternoon or all-day preschool, and older students can stay for extended classtime. Challenger School - Ardenwood follows the program Barbara Baker started in 1963 to teach reading with phonics. Preschoolers sound out their first words, count and add through songs, and have music, art, science, drama and motor-skills time each day. In the grades, students study reading, composition, math, history and logic, plus science, speech, literature, geography, music, art and PE, and present at Science Fair, Young Author and Speech Festival. We are an independent nonprofit school and accept no public funds. Tuition is charged at a daily rate for the days a child is enrolled, and lunch is available through Choicelunch.
