Paradigm Accelerated Charter School (PAS) is an open-enrollment charter school for grades 7 - 12. Charter schools are public schools funded by the state legislature to provide educational options to youth who want to pursue their diplomas through academic programs that are different from regular public schools. Charter school educators are required to fulfill state requirements for high school diplomas, including credits in math, science, English, history, speech, computer literacy, Physical education, etc.
PAS operates on an individualized accelerated learning schedule which allows students to complete courses as rapidly as the students are able to finish course content. Students work on core subjects four hours per day: 8 a.m. — 12:15 p.m. or 1p.m. - 5:15 p.m., and also have the opportunity to participate in specialized courses such as music, theater, golf, or choir. Students are expected to learn to play chess, participate in an adventure P.E. course or camp, learn communication skills (verbal, dramatic, literary, instrumental) and prepare for post high school studies.
PAS students are recognized by their crisp uniform dress and deportment. Every student is expected to master grammar and writing skills, read quality literature, and incorporate positive life principles into daily conduct and work habits.
PAS is known as the school that “meets students where they are and helps them get where they deserve to be” through a “tough love” policy. PAS assumes that students want to learn, to be guided in making choices, and to become responsible citizens. PAS operates on the principle that youth can achieve high and noble goals regardless of past circumstances and/or present conditions.
