High School enrollment is about 360. Paideia is governed by a 22-member Board of Trustees made up primarily of parents. Active parent involvement is a strong tradition at Paideia. The Paideia School includes a half-day program, as well as an elementary, junior high, and high school. Paideia teaching is based on the belief that a quality education acknowledges the innate curiosity of children and their desire to understand and master their environment.
Considerable care is taken to adapt curriculum and program to the talents and needs of each child.
The Class of 1999, composed of 80 graduates, had nine National Merit Finalists, five National Merit Commended students, and one National Achievement Finalist. Nearly 70 percent of Paideia faculty members have advanced degrees. Community service is stressed throughout the Paideia campus, with a community service internship mandatory for students in the high school. Summer camp, including many sports, music, and specialty camps, is offered for children ages 3-15. The original building at 1509 Ponce de Leon Avenue housed the entire school of 140 students during the first two years the school was open.
