How We Structure Our Program

Grades 1–3 — Foundations of Thinking & Discovery

Whether your child dreams of sending tomato seeds into orbit, crafting a hot air balloon, exploring the wonders of the rainforest, or mastering the elegance of the Victorian waltz, our Grades 1–3 program sparks curiosity at every turn. In small classes with nurturing teachers, students explore, question, and create in an environment where play and discovery are part of every day.

Engage in creative projects: science experiments, coding, arts, French, and novel studies.

Small class sizes foster friendships, curiosity, and soft skills.

Athletics, drama, music, and House Days encourage teamwork and school spirit.

Focus: individualized growth, confidence, and a love of learning.

Grades 4–6 — Deepening, Accelerating & Exploring

In Grades 4–6, learning leaps beyond the classroom walls. Students dive into research projects, dynamic presentations, and real-world challenges that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and leadership. Through coding, competitions, field trips, and collaborative activities, learners develop confidence and discover their passions in academics, arts, and athletics.

Research projects, oral presentations, coding challenges, and national competitions.

Field studies and overnight trips promote independence and collaboration.

Leadership opportunities through Reading Buddies and Student Council.

Focus: academic skills, effective study habits, personal growth, and confidence.

Grades 7–8 — Transition, Leadership & Pre-Advanced Studies

For students ready for constant challenge and big ideas, our Grades 7–8 program is where brilliance takes flight. Here, curiosity meets leadership, and students tackle complex problems, conduct thoughtful research, and explore advanced STEM, arts, and humanities projects—all while developing the confidence, empathy, and critical thinking skills to thrive in high school and beyond.

Emphasis on advocacy, research, thesis writing, and critical thinking.

Parent Voices

“At P.A.C.E., my daughter no longer felt like she had to ‘quiet down’ at school. She is thriving academically and socially, and finally surrounded by peers who match her energy and curiosity.”

— Parent of Grade 6 Student

“The academic program at PACE does a great job balancing the curriculum. From math and science to visual arts and physical education, the kids receive a robust education. The culture around academics is supportive and encouraging, never pressuring students to achieve above all else. Students are guided to identify areas where they might need extra support and are encouraged to ask for help when needed, always feeling comfortable approaching a teacher. Study skills are woven into the curriculum, along with time management and project management skills. Students learn to break down larger assignments, meet deadlines, and produce specific deliverables. All of this prepares them for more challenging grades and higher education.”

— Parent of Grade 3 Student

“The leadership at PACE is amazing from the top down. The director makes an extraordinary effort to know and understand each student and all of their individual strengths and weaknesses and works hard every day to understand any challenges they may be having. The director works closely with her Vice Principals and teaching staff to ensure that each child’s “hidden talents” are nurtured and developed to their fullest potential. Discipline is handled swiftly and expeditiously but with the utmost fairness, kindness, and professionalism. There is continuous effective communication with both students and parents.”
