Founded in 1958 as an independent school by an interfaith group of community leaders, Pace Academy educates students in Pre-First through 12th Grades. While not affiliated with a specific church, Pace adheres to Judeo-Christian values, emphasizing character development. Family is at the heart of everything we do at Pace, and our close environment allows students to develop academically, culturally, socially, artistically, athletically and emotionally. Students know they have support from their teachers and friends and are therefore free to ask questions, think critically, communicate and grow as individuals. Our intimate setting enables students to be more involved on more levels _ in the classroom, on the athletic fields, in the arts.

Our Core Values are as follows:
