The School
P.A.C.E. stands for Programming for Academic and Creative Excellence, so the school provides gifted children with new and exciting opportunities for the future. It was founded in 1993 and is a non-denominational, co-educational, private day school that provides differential programming for gifted children, grades one through University Entrance. Complying with the requirements of the Ministry of Education, we ensure that the basic skills of literacy, writing, numeracy and scientific competence are developed.
The Philosophy
P.A.C.E. is committed to the specialization of gifted children to ensure the development of their unique, outstanding potential. It encourages the concept that true learning involves the development of the "whole child" and that each child must be given mediation, counselling, support, and respect in order to truly live up to their potential. With a wide array of exciting courses, a carefully selected and enthusiastic staff, and the promotion of 'child-stretching' instead of 'child-stressing', P.A.C.E. encourages all of it's students to 'strive to excel'.
Through the use of broad-based issues and themes our students develop high levels of skill in critical and creative thinking, problem solving, research and communication. P.A.C.E. accompanies your child down the road to academic excellence at a pace appropriate to his or her needs through the practice of "child-stretching" and not "child-stressing".
