I love Paradigm. My children have never been happier, and have found a love of learning that was missing in their previous education!
Julia H.

I went to Paradigm all through high school. Best experience ever. Not only did it help me focus on my strengths, but it also prepared me for college with its challenging curriculum that makes you think outside the box. The mentors there care about each of their students individually, and want nothing more than the students’ success.
Jennifer L.

Last month, our band and orchestra scholars had the opportunity to go on this year’s small tour, which stayed mostly local in Idaho and Utah. Their tour included clinics at Marsh Valley High School (Idaho), the University of Utah and a master musicians clinic at Paradigm (thank you Sorensen Legacy Foundation!). They also went to Lava Hot Springs and a Utah Symphony performance. Tour wrapped up with two excellence and one superior rating at the Trills and Thrills festival at Lagoon! Of course, many rollercoasters were ridden. Band and orchestra will get to go on the big travel tour next year and we are excited about the possibilities! #paradigmschools #paradigmpatriots #paradigmperformingarts #bandandorchestratour #lagoon #utahsymphony #mastermusicianclinics #utahhighschools #utahcharterschools

We understand that every scholar learns differently. That's why we offer various modes of learning and we encourage scholars to choose projects that suit them and their style of learning.

They came. They saw. They conquered NEW YORK CITY! (Rumor has it, they even sang.) Another epic music tour in the books - choir had a blast in the big apple! They had so much fun and didn’t want it to end, so they decided to stay an extra two nights (technically in New Jersey…). Just kidding, their flight got cancelled and they were total troopers! Lots of fun memories made! #paradigmschools #paradigmpatriots #paradigmchoir #newyorkcity #choirtour #phschoirtour #utahhighschools #utahcharterschools

We have been the recipients of some incredible grants this year and we wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU!
✨
Rocky Mountain Power Foundation gave us the opportunity to send one of our STEM mentors to a professional development conference in California. Being able to send teachers to these types of conferences helps them to learn and grow as a teacher, which then translates to success in the classroom! RMP has also awarded us a grant that will allow us to purchase some school vehicles for student transportation!
✨
Sorenson Legacy Foundation gifted us a grant that has allowed us to host our Master Musician Clinics this year! These clinics have brought in professional musicians who taught small clinics to our band and orchestra scholars. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity!
✨
Utah State Library through LSTA has given us a grant that allowed us to purchase our STEM Ocean Discovery Backpacks, the STEAM MakerSpace, new science books for our library, and Spanish and Chinese language books and games! Thank you for your generosity!
