ParagonED Expands to Southlake, TX with Continued Partnership with iCode
Southlake, TX – July 31, 2025 – ParagonED, the innovative private K-12 microschool focused on Critical Life Skills, Business Experience, and Kingdom Values, is excited to announce the launch of its newest campus—ParagonED Southlake (SLK)—set to open this September. The Southlake campus will operate from the iCode location at 2750 E. Southlake Blvd, Southlake, TX 76092, continuing the strong partnership between the two forward-thinking organizations.
ParagonED’s collaboration with iCode has already brought tremendous opportunities to students at the Frisco campus, and the Southlake expansion builds on that success. Students at the SLK campus will benefit from iCode’s tech-rich learning environment while engaging in a curriculum that blends project-based learning with business and life skill development.
“As we expand into Southlake, we are once again partnering with iCode to offer a dynamic, skills-based educational model,” said Dr. Jill Hollander, Headmaster of ParagonED. “The opportunity to integrate coding, entrepreneurship, and real-world problem solving into our daily curriculum is not just a convenience—it’s a deliberate choice to prepare our students for the future.”
ParagonED SLK students will participate in select iCode programs during the school day, directly aligning with the school’s mission to equip learners with marketable skills and entrepreneurial thinking. Additionally, the presence of ParagonED’s vibrant student community at iCode Southlake creates a dynamic, education-focused environment that complements iCode’s mission and introduces more families to their after-school and weekend programs.
Starting in the 2025–26 school year, both ParagonED campuses will accept Education Savings Account (ESA) dollars, making this innovative educational experience more accessible to Texas families seeking flexible, values-driven learning environments.
Dr. Kashif Asdi, Managing Director at iCode Southlake, shared his excitement about the continued collaboration:
“Having ParagonED on-site is a perfect synergy. Their educational model aligns with everything iCode stands for—innovation, hands-on learning, and preparing students for success in the modern world. We’re proud to support their expansion into Southlake and look forward to what we’ll build together.”
This Southlake launch marks a continued investment in reshaping education to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world—combining academic rigor, moral grounding, and practical experience in one powerful model.
