"The best decision, especially for young people who are not very academic but more practical, the academy works with everything they need for the world we live in, not leaving the values ​​necessary to be a good human being. My son has matured a lot and has learned a lot. Very grateful to God and the ChalleNGe Puerto Rico team"

"2 of my children have had the great experience of belonging to this academy, the boy was in the academy 20-21 and my daughter's graduation will be in September. And as a mother I do not regret having made this decision, in addition to the fourth year, they give him tools to be able to move forward with responsibility and discipline. Believe me, they come out so different, with goals, with discipline, independent, it is something that you will not find in a public high school. I am super grateful to all the Challenge staff for everything they do for our children."

Class 25-02 Parent

"I must say that I am grateful for the change you achieved in my son. The Jayran who entered on April 21, 2025, is not the same one who graduated on September 19, 2025. His desire to move forward and his motivation to study (which he didn’t have before) after the academy have been a difference like night and day. 
We wanted an alternative with discipline, and without hesitation he chose ChalleNGe, and we decided to support him. Wherever he goes, he proudly says he is a product of the Youth ChalleNGe Academy.
Today, he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Arts and is the youngest student in his class. He has excellent grades and remains focused, with the same discipline he had at the academy. Without PRYCA, this change would not have been possible."
