Challenge is a five-week summer program for elementary students with mild to moderate learning or language disabilities. The program focuses on maintenance of academic skills, instruction in new strategies to succeed in school, and the continuing development of self-esteem.

Each summer, the school enrolls 65 to 70 students. Students are grouped into classes of approximately 10 students per class based on age, grade, and social/emotional skill level. Each class is taught by credentialed teachers with expertise in the area of learning disabilities.

Challenge also teaches its graduates in a well-regarded program that brings them back as Aides-In-Training to help students and teachers in the classroom and on the playground. In this supportive environment, they serve as mentors to the younger children. They also serve as reminders to all that students who struggle in school can become successful young adults.
