Five years ago 2020, Challenge Preparatory Academy opened its doors with a bold vision: to create a space “Where Learning is Experienced”—a place where students aren’t just taught, but empowered to think critically, create boldly, and grow fearlessly.
What began as a dream in the heart of the Harrisburg community has blossomed into a thriving academic home for scholars who learn differently, dream limitlessly, and lead courageously. From our founding class to the launch of transformative programs in Cybersecurity, Filmmaking, and Entrepreneurship, every step of our journey has been a testament to the power of purpose, partnership, and belief in what education can do.
🌱 We Have Grown…
From- one classroom to a multi-academy campus
serving a few students to impacting dozens of families
focusing on foundations to launching future-ready leaders
We Remain Committed…
To academic excellence,
to hands-on, personalized learning, and
to nurturing students who are resilient, expressive, and innovative.
Because for us, learning is not a moment—it’s a movement.
🤝 We Are Grateful…
To our families who trust us, our educators who lead with heart and vision, and our donors and partners who’ve invested in our purpose.
And most importantly, to our students—
who remind us every day why we rise to teach.
The Legacy Continues…
From the depts of my heart, I want to thank every person and organization that has poured into this school. Thank you for believing in a dream and to parents for trusting me with your children's' education. As we celebrate this milestone year, we do so as a Fearless 5—a school that is stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever. Challenge Preparatory Academy is not just a school.
It is a movement built on faith, fueled by vision, and driven by purpose.
And after 5 years… we’re just getting started.
