Scheduling Information

2025-26 Scheduling

April 2025 Update

Dear Challenger Learning Center Liaisons,
 
Challenger is proud of our 34-year legacy serving the Rochester community, inspiring young minds to explore science, technology, math, history, problem solving, teamwork, and career opportunities. Our committed team works hard to ensure it remains a source of inspiration for both students and educators. We eagerly anticipate continuing our collaboration in the 2025-26 school year.
 
At this time, I ask that you complete the survey linked below so that I can begin scheduling next year's missions.
 
 
Please complete the survey by April 30th. Responses will be reviewed, and the schedule will be arranged in an equitable manner once all submissions are received. I aim to provide an update to all participants by May 30th.
 

The rate for the 2024-25 school year will be $1,206.00 per mission. We will continue to offer one Challenger pre-flight video conference per elementary building at no additional charge.

Schools with early start and end times will be given priority for morning missions, while those with later start and end times will generally be scheduled in the afternoon. We need to complete two missions per day to meet the demand. Early-start schools are encouraged to book missions in the morning, and for late-start schools, we will make every effort to schedule your mission as early in the afternoon as possible.

As always, we will do our best to meet everyone’s requested dates and times in the most equitable way. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!
