My son is a new 4th grader at Paragon. Even though a mid year move can pose it's challenges so far my son is very happy with his choice. In a matter of a week he has changed to a child who comes home and does his homework right away. Shows me where I need to sign off on his homework and is showing signs if taking ownership of his responsibilities. Every morning he wakes up excited and ready for his day. He was not even close to being like this in public school. This quick change in him shows me how much he really needed and wanted this change and how wonderful the staff are at Paragon. After his first day I received an email from the head of the school checking in on my son and asking if there is anything he could do to help us. WOW! That impressed me! And then I received another email from the head of student development letting me know he would be working with my son to help him acclimate to the changes. WOW! I'm beyond impressed, I'm so grateful my son is at Paragon. It just feels right and my son is thriving and happy and excited to learn again! Thank you!!

I wish every student could experience the academic rigor, supportive community and fun that Paragon Prep has to offer. The administration is incredible, in that every detail, for both parents and students, has been thoughtfully considered. The academics are challenging and dynamic, with the work hard; play hard culture permeating throughout. Paragon's advising process on how to approach the work load, and use a planner is phenomenal. If you are considering a private school education in Austin, Tx, you will be hard pressed to find a better alternative.
Paragon Prep & Primary teachers are SO engaged. my kids love going to school - and even enjoy their homework!! (most of the time :)) And they are learning to THINK and form their own opinions about all kinds of topics. AND the size and focus of the program forges this community of tight deep relationships. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
Paragon Prep's administration has worked diligently to create a strong name with public and private schools in the area. Any class taken at Paragon Prep that can be transferred as honors is accepted by the public school as honors classes. This isn't true of all private schools transferring credits. We walked into a public high school and the moment they saw my son had attended Paragon, the counselor said, \Oh good.\ They know Paragon doesn't inflate grades and prepares the students well for high school work. We were transitioning from homeschool so we needed this \accreditation\ of our previous years of work. The teachers are knowledgeable professionals in the subject matter they are teaching and are available. I have never met teachers that work harder than these. Work Hard, Play Hard is the Paragon motto and Paragon lives up to it.
We had 2 kids in the Paragon primary 2011-12 (3rd and 4th grader)... We loved the ways the school day was organized. Their average day covered wide range of topics from academics, music, art, PE, interest group, trips to library/farm/parks, current events. Commend the maturity and the level of thinking that has gone into setting a challenging environment for the kids... It brings me great joy to see our kids eager to get to school and talk about everything they did at school that day...
