My son went K through 12 at Paradise. He graduated with multiple scholarship offers. The continuity of knowing his teachers, his community, his coaches — that's something you can't put a price on. And it was free!
My kids have been at Paradise since kindergarten and are now in middle school. The teachers genuinely care, the academics are strong, and the fact that it's completely free is incredible. We wouldn't go anywhere else
Enrolling was super simple. We scheduled a tour, met the principal, and had everything submitted in a week. Our daughter loves the 4-day school week and has made so many friends. Highly recommend.
Yes — completely. Paradise Schools is a public charter school funded by the state of Arizona. Enrollment and attendance cost your family nothing. There is no tuition, no enrollment fee, and no hidden costs for basic school programs.
We serve students from Kindergarten through 12th grade across three campuses: Paradise Honors Elementary School (K–5), Paradise Honors Middle School (6–8), and Paradise Honors High School (9–12). All three are located in Surprise, AZ.
Open enrollment runs annually beginning December. When demand exceeds available seats, a random lottery is held with sibling and military priority. Outside the open enrollment window, seats are filled as they become available. Contact our admissions team to confirm current dates and check seat availability for your child's grade level.
You don't need to submit any documents to apply. Just complete the online application. If your child is offered a seat, you'll accept the offer in PowerSchool and then provide Arizona proof of residency and your child's birth certificate (or other proof of identity and age) to the school registrar. We'll also ask for immunization records, the most recent report card, and any IEP or 504 plan so we can support your child from day one. See Enrollment Information for the full list and deadlines.
Absolutely — and we encourage it! Visiting campus is the best way to see our community in action, meet teachers and staff, and get your questions answered. Use the buttons at the top of this page or call us at (623) 455-7405 to book your tour.
Paradise Schools operates on a 4-day school week, giving students and families a consistent 3-day weekend throughout the school year. Our school days are structured to ensure students receive full instructional hours. Contact admissions for the current year's calendar.
