Welcome to Paramount Charter Academy

Situated on the busiest street in Kalamazoo, Paramount Charter Academy is a tuition-free, publicly-funded charter school positioned next to an old pedestrian bridge. Every day, students and parents, grandparents and grandchildren cross over or drive under the bridge to get to Paramount. This bridge symbolizes our mission: building a bridge to the future.

Paramount Charter Academy serves over 650 students who excel with the help of smaller classes, individualized attention, and a rigorous curriculum. We provide a safe, small, nurturing K-8 environment, where students achieve more and significantly impact the high schools they attend. The faculty and staff at Paramount are committed to the common mission within our school community. “Challenging each child to achieve through academic excellence, parent partnerships, moral focus, and student responsibility.”
