Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Challenger School full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Decent communication of expectations and curriculum is already developed so lesson planning is easy. Your personal life can remain separate from your professional life since all parent interactions need to go through the office- parents don’t have direct access to your phone number.
Cons
Considering they charge so much for tuition, they pay their teachers chump change. Parents can be very demanding of their child needing to get straight As which can create some tension.
Advice to Management
Avoid favoritism. Treat all employees fairly.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Challenger School full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Decent pay for an intern ($14.50/hour) Co-workers are friendly and helpful
Cons
I started out as an intern and eventually took over a preschool class at another campus after another teacher had to quit. My experience as an intern was awful. I got little to no feedback and the feedback I did receive was always negative and had nothing to do with my actual teaching. Once I was able to get my own class, I assumed I would be promoted to a preschool teacher’s pay. However, they never changed my title...

Pros
- Easy to get hired. - Decent benefits.
Cons
- Huge teacher turnover rates. This is why they are constantly posting on job sites looking for new employees. They lose dozens of teachers every year and make no effort to retain them. - Big class sizes. 30 students crammed into a small room, just like a typical overrun public school. - Corporate does not care if you have valid concerns or feedback about anything. They will tell you to just leave if you’re “unhappy.”...
