Challenger schools : ウィキペディア英語版 | Challenger schools
The Challenger schools network contains, as of 2007, twenty-three educational institutions in multiple U.S. states. Generally associated with the western United States, these private schools are known for their high academic standards and expensive tuition. == Founding and early history ==
Challenger schools got started as a project by American educator Barbara Baker in the 1960s. Baker taught first grade in the regular U.S. public school system, experiencing frustration with changes in teaching methods. She realized that her students were taught how to read in kindergarten by memorizing each individual word rather than using phonics to sound out the words; she felt shocked this comparatively inefficient way to teach students to read didn't prepare students for their future education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Challenger )〕 She decided to leave her teaching job and start her own preschool, teaching phonics as well as other traits to young children to help them in grade school. Parents in the community gained interest in Baker's preschool work, and what originally started as a very small institution grew into a huge educational system. Baker remained the CEO of the Challenger School network for decades and decades. She passed away, at age 81, in 2012.〔
