Academic Excellence
A Strong Academic Experience - From Anywhere in Indiana
Paramount Online Academy brings Paramount's structured, standards-aligned academic model to students wherever they live in Indiana. Students in kindergarten through grade 9 receive a full day of instruction designed to build strong skills in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and extended core subjects.
Live, teacher-led instruction occurs throughout the school day, with lessons focused on clear learning targets, guided practice, regular assessment, and real-time feedback. Online teachers also collaborate with Paramount's on-campus educators to plan lessons and review student progress, helping families choose a virtual option without giving up structure, accountability, or connection to a school community.
For the 2026-27 school year, Paramount Online Academy expanded through grade 9, giving students an additional year to continue learning within Paramount's virtual model.
Engaging Learning
Live Learning. Real Teachers. Meaningful Connection.
Online learning at Paramount is not a student sitting alone in front of a screen. Students participate in live, teacher-led lessons three times daily, ask questions in real time, practice new skills with teacher support, and receive feedback as they learn.
A typical day mirrors the instructional blocks used at Paramount's on-campus schools, combining English language arts and social studies, extended core, math, and science. Digital tools including Google Classroom and other grade-level curriculum platforms help teachers make lessons interactive while keeping students focused on one learning target at a time.
Technology and instructional materials are supplied, helping families start with the tools students need to participate successfully.
Character & Leadership
Building Independence Without Losing Support
A successful online student learns more than academic content. Paramount Online Academy helps students develop responsibility, time management, self-advocacy, communication, and the confidence to ask for help when they need it.
Teachers create consistent routines and clear expectations while maintaining regular interaction with students and families. That balance of independence and support helps students build habits that can serve them in high school, college, careers, and everyday life.
Students are encouraged to take ownership of their learning while knowing that teachers, staff, and their Paramount community are there to support them along the way.
Student Life
Online School. Real Community.
Choosing an online school does not mean giving up connection, friendship, or extracurricular opportunities. Paramount Online Academy students can participate in clubs, activities, and athletics offered through Paramount campuses in Indianapolis, giving students opportunities to connect with peers beyond the virtual classroom.
Available opportunities may include football and flag football, cross country, track, chess, STEAM, cheerleading, soccer, robotics, volleyball, basketball, music, and art. Offerings may vary by school year and campus.
Students can enjoy the flexibility of online learning while still being part of the larger Paramount community.
Why Families Choose Paramount Online Academy
Four Reasons Paramount Brookside Stands Out
1
Live, Teacher-Led Instruction
Students learn directly from teachers throughout the school day, with opportunities to ask questions, receive feedback, and stay connected to their learning.
2
Flexibility with Structure
Families gain the convenience of learning from home while students follow a full-day academic schedule with clear routines, expectations, and regular assessments.
3
K-9 Continuity
Paramount Online Academy now serves kindergarten through grade 9, giving families a growing virtual option that can continue with their child across multiple stages of learning.
4
One Paramount Community
Online students are part of the broader Paramount network and may participate in eligible clubs, activities, and athletics at Paramount's Indianapolis campuses.
Our Community
Serving Students Across Indiana
Paramount Online Academy brings tuition-free public education directly to families across Indiana. Because learning happens online, students are not limited by a neighborhood, city, or local school district - eligible Indiana students can access Paramount's virtual K-9 program from home.
For families balancing athletics, activities, travel, health considerations, changing schedules, or simply looking for a different learning environment, the Online Academy offers the flexibility of virtual education with live instruction, regular teacher interaction, and the support of an established Indiana public charter network.
Wherever you call home in Indiana, Paramount Online Academy makes it possible to be part of One Paramount.
