My daughter attended Paradigm in Dublin, TX, combining her junior & senior years of high school so she finished high school in 3 years. The school is not fancy by any means, but has the essentials. My daughter usually learns well individually, so it worked well for her; however, for a student who needs more interaction with a teacher, this might not work as well. Even though my daughter made a good grade in Chemistry, when she took that subject in college, it was obvious that she should have had actual lab experiences for high school chemistry.

I really think this is a great school. My son started about three years ago and he really likes it. They take the time to help your kids to get where they need to go. Each teacher really cares about your child. I am really glad that my son choose to go there. When there is a problem with your child they let you know about it. They sit down with you and your child and see what they can do too help out. Thank God we have a school like this. Deborah Stark
