Challenger Learning Center Wins Prestigious Pinnacle Award from CILC

We’re proud to announce that the Challenger Learning Center has been honored with the 2024–2025 Pinnacle Award from the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC).

The Pinnacle Awards celebrate the “best of the best” in live virtual learning, recognizing outstanding interactive programs and content providers who receive exemplary ratings from educators across the country.

“These Content Providers don’t just teach — they inspire,” said Dr. Tania Lyon, Director of Strategic Learning Systems at CILC. “The Pinnacle Award recognizes their consistent excellence and ability to engage learners in meaningful ways.”
This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering dynamic, high-quality virtual learning experiences that bring science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) to life for students everywhere. From virtual missions to live distance learning programs, our team ensures that learners not only absorb knowledge but also experience the excitement of exploration and discovery.

We owe this achievement to our incredible team of Flight Directors, whose skill, enthusiasm, and creativity make each program an unforgettable adventure for students. Their dedication to keeping learners engaged, challenged, and inspired — whether in person or through a screen — is the reason we’re able to reach and impact classrooms around the globe.

Thank you to CILC for this honor, and thank you to the educators and students who trust us to bring STEM education to life in exciting and meaningful ways.
