Why Paramount Lafayette
Features of Paramount Lafayette Academy
Paramount Lafayette combines high academic expectations with engaging learning experiences and individualized support, creating an environment where students are encouraged to explore their interests, build confidence, and succeed.
Academic Excellence
A Strong Foundation for Lifelong Success
At Paramount Lafayette, strong academics begin with high expectations, individualized support, and a belief that every student can grow. Our K-8 model gives students the consistency to build skills year after year while teachers use data to understand what each child needs to move forward.
Paramount Lafayette achieved a 100% passing rate on the 2026 IREAD assessment - every student who took the assessment met Indiana's required reading standard. That milestone reflects the focused literacy instruction, hard work, and partnership among students, educators, and families across our school community.
From foundational reading and mathematics to middle school preparation, students are challenged to think critically, build confidence, and develop the academic habits they will carry into high school and beyond.
Engaging Learning
Hands-On Learning That Inspires
Learning at Paramount Lafayette is designed to keep students active, curious, and connected to what they are learning. Alongside core academics, students have opportunities to explore art, music, foreign language, technology, and STEM experiences that bring new ideas to life.
Our robotics program gives students hands-on opportunities to solve problems, design, build, collaborate, and put skills from math, ELA, and STEM into practice. These experiences help students see learning as something they can use - not simply something they study.
With a bright, modern campus and a combination of teacher-led instruction, technology, enrichment, and guided practice, students have multiple ways to discover their strengths and stay engaged throughout the school day.
Character & Leadership
Building Character. Growing Leaders.
Families want their children to leave school with more than strong grades. At Paramount Lafayette, students are encouraged to become confident learners, responsible classmates, thoughtful problem-solvers, and young people who know how to advocate for themselves.
Teachers and staff create a safe, inclusive environment where students are known, supported, and expected to contribute positively to their school community. Through academics, teamwork, athletics, clubs, and everyday classroom experiences, students practice perseverance, accountability, respect, and leadership.
The goal is simple: help students develop the knowledge, confidence, and character to be ready for whatever comes next.
Student Life
A Place to Belong
There is more to school than what happens during a lesson. Paramount Lafayette gives students opportunities to find an interest, join a team, make friends, and become an active part of their school community.
Student opportunities include football and flag football, volleyball, cross country, cheerleading, basketball, track, soccer, robotics, Junior Chess Academy, Chess Club, STEAM, music, and art. Offerings may vary by school year.
Whether a student wants to compete, create, build, perform, or try something completely new, extracurricular experiences give them another place to grow in confidence and feel connected to school.
Why Families Choose Paramount Lafayette

K-8 Continuity
One school community from kindergarten through eighth grade gives students time to build lasting relationships, grow within consistent expectations, and prepare confidently for high school.
3
More Support in the Classroom
Paramount Lafayette's model includes a lead teacher and an aide in every class, creating additional opportunities for individual attention, small-group support, and meaningful student engagement.

Our Neighborhood
Proudly Serving Greater Lafayette
Paramount Lafayette is located at 1904 Elmwood Avenue in Lafayette, serving families from across the Greater Lafayette community and surrounding areas.
Our K-8 campus combines the close-knit feel families value with access to the opportunities of the Lafayette and West Lafayette area. Students learn in a bright, welcoming school environment while families remain connected to a community known for education, innovation, local businesses, parks, and family activities.
Paramount Lafayette also works to be a gathering place for families and neighbors through school and community events. From family celebrations to partnerships with local organizations and businesses, we believe strong schools are built through strong relationships with the communities they serve.
As a tuition-free public charter school, Paramount Lafayette gives families another public school choice - one centered on academic growth, belonging, and opportunity from kindergarten through eighth grade.
