We love Paragon Prep! Its focus is on academics AND physical activity which is perfect for my son. He's a 5th grader and has been at Paragon since 2nd grade. The teachers and staff really get to know your child and what he or she likes, what they can do, what will challenge them, and just what makes them happy. Very little parent support is needed academically since the teachers and staff are so hands on with the kids. This was the elementary school experience I wanted for my son, who is the youngest of 4. The athletic staff is spot on with keeping these kids moving in a variety of activities. They're excellent at teaching specific sports skills too to make your student a better athlete. They do a lot of fun things too that most elementary schools don't do - like colleges and earning points for a college, swim days at the pool, across grade level activities, etc. I have been impressed EVERY single year!

Paragon's staff and teachers truly care about each child as an individual and what makes them tick. The school's protocols for "in person learning" and hybrid learning options that they provided through the Global Pandemic have been stellar! Our son has thrived academically this past year, and more importantly, he is learning how to learn which we hope sets him up for continued success in the future. We cannot be more grateful that we are a part of the Paragon family.

Paragon has been a God send. Our daughter has attended for 2 years of Pre-K, and has blossomed emotionally and academically. She is truly known by the teachers (especially the amazing Ms Young in Pre-K), and feels safe and cherished at school. She is wonderfully prepared for kindergarten. We can’t wait for our son to start his Pre-K journey at Paragon!
