Champion School

Champion is a wonderful school. My daughter loves the environment, her classmates and the teachers. She started reading at age 4 and very much ahead of math and reading among her friends who go to different schools. They have a special program to teach the kids who need more help on a one on one basis and accelerate them really well. She has fallen in love with reading books because they have a rewarding system for kids who read more books! I would highly recommend this school to whoever who wants their kids to learn better and faster. They do an amazing job and we are so grateful to them.

Champion School has always been the second home for our kids, they literally grew there from toddlers and we are very grateful for that. Eleven years ago, we were looking for a good pre-school for our 2.5 year old kid. We visited at least 10 different schools before we zeroed in on Champion. Champion School provides high academics in a very friendly environment with a positive disciplinary method. In addition to academics, Champion School also provides excellent debate coaching, robotics classes, Java and Logo programming and public speaking. The principal, Ms. Muna is very supportive and even kept tabs on our kids’ education progress during our temporary relocation. She was encouraging my child who was in a different country and even sent her wishes for our child’s achievements. You will never see a debate coach like Mr. Sandeep. He knows how to pick the brains of the students to bring out critical thinking. Mr.Sandeep is always there for each debate tournament, the first one to come in and the last one to leave during an all-day 12-14 hour tournaments. All the credit of my elder one’s debate wins goes to Mr. Sandeep & Ms. Muna. My little one who is in 4th grade now says Mr. Sandeep is the best debate coach in the world😊 . We are proud that we made the right decision to pick Champion and if we have to do all over again, we will do the same thing without a second thought!

I am very happy with Champion school. When it comes to academics, they are second to none. In just 1 year, my child's progress is equivalent to what he would have taken 3 years to learn at his previous school. They have provided my son with an amazing amount of extra help. To say that we are grateful, would be an understatement. When it comes to dealing with genuine issues with my child, the administration has always been extremely responsive. We highly recommend Champion.

Firstly I am so glad that I decided not to send my then 3 yr old child to this school. Thank god. That was the best decision ever. I m myself a former teacher with more than 7 years experience with kids from 5 to 12. I went to this school years back to enquire abt their programs. Mr Sandeep the head proudly described us what they can do with my child. He showed us sample books with neatly written mathematical problems by a 1st grader (which was quite advanced, probably 6 grade maths). Instead of getting impressed we were alarmed. Kids r suppose to b kids, enjoy, have fun, and learn. I wanted to raise a human not a computer. Next Mr Sandeep gave us a grand tour of the school. He took us in a classroom full of 3 yrs old, reading a passage written on the white board. Impressed right, not at all... those kids looked depressed, were forced to sit in one place and memorize the passage - reminded me of a video I saw of North Korean kids, who were performing like a machine without any emotions on their face. This was like a concentration camp for little kids. Then there was another example where a teacher was teaching a kid one on one by forcibly dragging him and making a little boy sit in one place - poor parents have no idea what their child is going through in school. They might be happy to see their child read and write, but at what cost, stripping your child off his creativity and imagination, making his childhood so bland. Me and my husband rushed out of the school and decided never ever to send our child to this concentration camp. My son being 5 reads a newspaper and solves mathematical problems, which I taught him at home with fun and games. He draws and enjoys Arts and Science. We are glad we chose Strartford. Best blend of academics and play. (I am not promoting Stratford or another similar school) Years later I made a friend whose child same age as my son went to this school. I heard the horror stories what her child went through and yes again thank god I Did Not Send My Son To This School. I know the champion staff will jump to criticize my review or give me 100 of example of parents happy with the school. Let them be part of your classroom for a day and I m sure they will run far from your school just like I did....

Every parent has to constantly assess whether a school works for their kids & them. For us, so far pros clearly outweigh the cons & hence both our kids have been going to Champion for several years now Things that work well • Our children are happy & well-adjusted socially – this is the biggest factor for most parents • Our children are years ahead in academics compared to both public & private school peers, without either the kids or us (parents) feeling any pressure. In this day & age of falling US education standards & education budget cuts, this is a big plus for working parents. This is the core strength of the school & this is a unanimous opinion among all parents even the detractors • Staff is caring and involved – being a small school most staff know all the kids esp. the principal who knows the personal progress of each kid • They offer PE 5 days/wk and put up good quality musical programs twice a year, in spite of being a small school • We are satisfied with the extra-curricular activities offered (art, chess, basketball, etc). This is mainly because we personally prefer to doing many activities externally so we can be involved and allow kids to move ahead beyond what most schools teach them Things that can be improved – majority can be boiled down to improving “overall communication” • Customer service – we have seen this improve steadily over last 3 years but they need to continue working on this as this is one of the biggest complaint from fellow parents o We haven’t faced any accounting issues for 1.5yr now. o The response time to majority emails has been
