We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The Teachers and Staff in the school were and still are very welcoming and warm. When I was a Freshmen, I don't have a lot of confidence in myself, and my home wasn't a good place to be in for my age. They gave me a place where I could just relax and be happy. They pay attention to me and talked to me when I needed it the most. I'm glad that I've gone to that school. I remember every teacher done for me. And the Staffs are very nice and want to give the people how are learning in their building the best. I remember the college guidance is very strict but yet very understanding. She wants every single student that are in 11th or 12th to go to college or at least be prepared for adulthood. My only complaint is the students who attended the school, but a good portion of those students become more mature throughout the years in that school. You could still keep in touch with the school after when you graduate. They are very sweet.

I like the teachers and the curriculum has a good rigor. The classes are not to big and students can make friends easily.

I like the culture at pace, the traditions at PACE, and how there is a community. We are a family and everyone knows each other because of the school's small size.
