Engaging Learning
Hands-On Learning That Inspires
Our campus transforms science, technology and environmental education into experiences students can see, touch and explore. Students learn through a working urban farm, EcoRoom, Butterfly Balcony, planetarium and Solar System room, connecting classroom standards to the world around them.
Students can also put problem-solving and engineering skills into action through VEX IQ Robotics, available to students in grades 3-8. Brookside robotics teams have competed on the world stage.
It's an approach designed to do more than teach students the answer - it gives them opportunities to discover how and why things work.
Character & Leadership
Building Character. Growing Leaders.
At Paramount Brookside, students are encouraged to work hard, persevere through challenges, take responsibility for their choices and contribute positively to their school community. Teachers and staff reinforce expectations while helping students develop the confidence, independence and character they will carry into high school and beyond.
Teamwork through athletics and robotics, hands-on learning, community involvement and everyday classroom experiences give students opportunities to practice leadership - not simply learn about it.
Because preparing a child for what's next means developing both a strong student and a strong person.
Student Life
A Place to Belong
At Brookside, students have opportunities to discover interests, build friendships and become part of a team outside the classroom. Activities have included volleyball, football, cross country, robotics, art, space-focused programming and scouting.
From competition and creativity to science and teamwork, extracurricular experiences give students another way to find their people, their interests and their place at Brookside.

Four Reasons Paramount Brookside Stands Out

Proven Academics

An urban farm, EcoRoom, Butterfly Balcony, planetarium, robotics and environmental education turn everyday learning into experiences students remember.
3
K-8, All in One Community
Students can grow from kindergarten through eighth grade in one school community, building lasting relationships with teachers, classmates and families along the way.
4
A School With a Track Record
Brookside opened in 2010 as Paramount's first campus and has earned national recognition, including designation as a National Blue Ribbon School and a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School.

Our Neighborhood
Proudly Serving Indianapolis
Paramount Brookside is located at 3020 Nowland Avenue on Indianapolis' Near Eastside, in the Brookside area.
Our location gives families an urban neighborhood school experience while keeping them connected to the greater Indianapolis community. Brookside's campus itself provides something especially distinctive for a city school: students have access to outdoor and environmental learning experiences without leaving their everyday school environment.
The surrounding Near Eastside puts Brookside within reach of neighborhood parks, community organizations and the amenities of downtown Indianapolis, while major east-west routes connect the campus to families from surrounding Indianapolis neighborhoods.
More than a school in the neighborhood, Brookside has been part of the Near Eastside community since 2010.
