Public Schools Done Differently
At Paramount Schools of Excellence, 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.
At Paramount Schools of Excellence, every child has access to an exceptional education. We opened our first campus in 2010. Since then, we've been perfecting our supportive and award-winning academic approach. We use that same method at our six other locations and our Online Academy. No matter which Paramount school your child attends, they will develop a love of learning. Because we are ONE PARAMOUNT.
Discover Differently. Learn Differently.
