Public Schools Done Differently

At Paramount South Bend, 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.

I'm Ready to Enroll Now!

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 seven other locations and our Online Academy. 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.

I'm Excited to Learn More!

Discover Differently. Learn Differently.

Why do families choose Paramount?

“One thing that stood out for me was not just Paramount’s high overall test scores, but their test scores for black and brown students. We were looking for additional rigor for our kids and we saw high-level proficiency and intentionality.”

“My grandniece needs a lot of social and emotional support. Here, she's thriving from the care and nurturing of the staff who are all so involved on a personal level. She knows she’s loved. It's amazing how she's changed.”
