We are forever grateful to Paragon.
The best part of Paragon is the teamwork between parents, faculty and staff. The curriculum is tailored and not generic textbook content. My son has friends, leaders and support in all that he does. He is on a routine and schedule that meets his personal and academic growth needs.

Pretty much everyone in this school is my friend.
Paragon has taught me basically to be the best person you can be and don't listen to what the world is telling you or to what society's telling you. You've got to be yourself, you've just got to make your way in the world, and you've got to leave your mark.
