Overview
At Pace Academy, we believe every child is a genius with the potential to change the world.
We are a microschool built on the conviction that children learn best when they own the work: setting their own goals, taking on real challenges, and being held to high standards by guides and peers who know them well.
Across our Spark, Discovery, Explorer, and Launchpad studios, learners grow in curiosity, character, and independence, and graduate prepared to think for themselves, work with others, and make a real difference in their community.
