School Notes

Pace School is a state licensed Approved Private School and Partial Hospitalization Program serving children, K-12 with emotional disturbance or Autism, from school districts in Allegheny and surrounding counties.
The school`s programs integrate both educational and mental health/behavioral services for each child. The school calendar, daily schedule, classroom team structure, curriculum and daily procedures are designed to support students emotionally, intellectually and physically.
Pace offers EBP (Evidence Based Practices) for mental health problems that our patients exhibit at school, with peers, or at home.
In addition, mental health therapists at Pace match interventions to a child`s particular problems rather than to a broad diagnostic category.

Pace School supports and builds positive relationships with students and families. By blending academic and behavioral services into their learning environment, students achieve maximum benefits including: Academic, school/life-management skills, return to public school, ready to learn, diversion from psychiatric or in-patient hospitalizations.
Our model integrates these evidence based principles for a dynamic child focused approach: EducationBehavior management, Mental health, Social and emotional development. As a Pennsylvania Approved Private School, Pace`s students receive more support than in a traditional special education classroom.
