About Our School

Where every child belongs.

Founded in 2004 as a small, college-preparatory high school, Pace serves grades 9–12 with a mission to know every student well. Our partnership with Pace University gives students access to college classes, libraries, and labs—earning both high school and college credit.

We believe in holistic, project-based learning that teaches students how to think, not just what to know. From PSAL sports to clubs like Anime and Gay Straight Alliance, our community is built on collaboration, empathy, and accountability.
