Challenge Charter School

Since 2010, Challenge Charter School (“Challenge Prep”) has served the families of Far Rockaway, New York. Our free, public charter school offers a supportive and rigorous education from Kindergarten through our Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Early College High School. The mission of Challenge Charter is to prepare students from our Queens community to excel academically, to demonstrate mastery of the NYS and Next Generation Learning Standards, and to achieve their career aspirations. Challenge cultivates and supports the intellectual, aesthetic, social, emotional, and ethical development of its students and prepares them to be responsible 21st-century citizens. To accomplish its mission, Challenge offers a rigorous instructional program in a safe, supportive, technology-infused, and data-enriched school environment.
