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 four 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.

Paramount is committed to a safe, inclusive learning environment. Our multicultural student body and DEI-trained faculty value and celebrate diversity.

Our first school, founded in 2010, was a launchpad for developing a proven model for academic success that has since been used by all our schools.

Paramount was included as one of the 200 Promising Practices for Accessibility in STEM education and was awarded the Indiana Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence for their STEAM program in 2022.

The Education Equality Index recognized Paramount for closing the achievement gap irrespective of a family's income.

Chalkbeat Indiana profiled Paramount as the state’s top-ranked charter school based on 2015 ISTEP scores.

"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."

"To come to the school, have the principle give you a tour, to see amazing leadership from top to bottom from people who actually love what they do? That was a huge win."

"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."
