s********8 发帖数: 264 | 1 I am comparing Challenger's 3 compus for 3 year old daughter -- Saratoga,
Strawberry Park, and Sunnyvale.

experience from you are very welcomed!!

s********8 发帖数: 264 | 3 Good point! In my case, location wise, all 3 are about the same to me.
Sunnyvale is a little further tha the other two |

h**********8 发帖数: 76 | 5 Challenger Sunnyvale is the best one, from preschool to middle school, great
resource and teachers |
g******0 发帖数: 272 | 6 Definitely not the Saratoga one. The campus is small , picking up kids is a
big problem. When we were there most teaches and staffs were Indian ,
even the principle. |
j********o 发帖数: 34 | 7 Saratoga: NO
small campus, only from pre-school to pre-K, pick-up and drop off will be
the big issue due to parking space. Kids usually would like to stay in the
same enviroment. If you would like to send your kids from pre-school till
elementary or middle school, you'd better not choose Saratoga.
Strawberry Park: OK
classes are from preschool till middle school. Big school with nice
playground. But traffic is very bad ( depend on which route you need to go).
I take HWY 280 saratoga exit and it will take me forever to get off the
ramp and local traffic is horrible too on Saratoga ave. Plus my kid didn't
like the campus.
Sunnyvale: YES
preschool - middle school. Nice campus. My kid just told me how much he love
the school right after we took him to the open house. The teachers are very
nice and patient. Most of the students in campus are Indians. If you like
to have variety, maybe this campus is not a good choice.
Overall, we love sunnyvale campus and my kids really enjoy the school. You
need to consider the location, traffic and convinence.
Just my 2c. hopefully you can find your best school for your child. |

Sunnyvale location. Now i just need to
pick between Saratoga and Strawberry Park.

there for elementary or middle
school. is Sunnyvale still the best one? even with 95% of indian students
and 90% of indian teachers? (i am
not sure about other grade, above statistics only applies to preschool
classes). Thanks!

s********8 发帖数: 264 | 13 Thanks! is okay good? any better preschool choices? Any input is highly
appreciated.

j********o 发帖数: 34 | 14 I still love Sunnyvale campus better.
The teachers for preschools are not all Indians. At least for ours, one
American, one Indian and sometime some Asian teachers.
All the teachers are very very patients and friendly. You can easily talk to
preshcool director and school masters for any concerns and issue.
Saratoga campus has less Indians but almost no place to park the car!!
stay
students
