My son is a current student in the Lower School. He absolutely loves school - he is engaged, loved, challenged and cared about on campus. Pace is a very nurturing, inclusive, welcoming and supportive community that we are proud to be a part of.

The extracurricular programs were strong and kept students involved after school. My only reason for including 4 stars would be that socially, Pace isn't necessa...
