We are a free, public charter K-12 school with a small-school atmosphere and emphasis in STEM education. Our staff members have worked together for many years, and have created a sense of community between students, families, and staff. We frequently hold family events, and pride ourselves on fostering a caring, supportive environment that also asks the best from our students. Paragon Science Academy is focused on STEM education -- science, engineering, technology and math -- and college prep, with instruction in writing and the arts, and opportunities for healthy physical activity. We offer a learner-centered education with an emphasis on outcomes, visual aids, and technology integrated education. Our school was rated an "A" school by the Arizona Department of Education. Our nationally ranked robotics team competes in the FIRST Robotics championships. We also participate in statewide and national math, science and art competitions, and emphasize skill-level education with individualized instruction. We emphasize a scientific approach, hands-on work, computer literacy and the ability of students to use data and articulate a thesis.
