From those seeds, Pace School has grown into a state licensed Approved Private School and Partial Hospitalization Program serving more than 140 children each year from school districts through Allegheny and surrounding counties.

Every parent wants his or her child to have a bright and productive future. Sometimes, children experience emotional, behavioral, or social challenges that parents fear may push that goal out of reach, leaving their child behind academically and left out socially.

At Pace School, we believe in partnering with the child, family, school district and behavioral/mental health providers to develop an individualized program for every student. It is our mission to provide educational and therapeutic supports that enable any child to thrive.

All Pace School programs and our highly trained staff embrace this bold mission statement and use curriculum, strategies and practices proven to achieve the best results in helping children in grades K – 12 to break through barriers and achieve success.
