Public Schools Done Differently
At Paramount's Girls in STEM Academy, we do things a little differently. Like traditional public schools, our curriculum follows state standards, and we are free and open to all. What sets us apart is our unique, data-driven academic approach. Our teachers tailor instruction to the needs of students, keeping them engaged and inspired every day.
What makes Girls in STEM Academy different?
There is a large, self-perpetuating gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) jobs. Girls interested in STEM have fewer female role models, and the gender gap is even more pronounced among girls of color.
Girls IN STEM Academy is an all-girls public school for grades K-6 that allows girls to thrive and excel in a supportive environment with a core curriculum and STEM focus. The goal is to prepare them for high school, college, and a rewarding STEM career.
NOTE: We will add Grade 7 for the 2025-26 school year and Grade 8 for the 2026-27 school year.
At Paramount Schools of Excellence, every child has access to an exceptional education. No matter which Paramount school your child attends, they will develop the same critical thinking skills and love of learning because we are ONE PARAMOUNT.
Many accolades. One Paramount.
