Pace Academy Overview

Trying to choose where to send your child for Middle School is not an easy decision. In fact, it might be one of the most important decisions you will ever make on behalf of your child.

Experts agree that the life-long study habits learned during the middle school years are the very skills necessary for success later in life. You want a superior school that is safe, where the teachers are dedicated, hard-working, and passionate about your child's accomplishments, and has a proven, time-tested track record of achievement.

Since 1982 the PACE ACADEMY has attracted, educated, and graduated thousands of New York City's best and most ambitious students. Our graduates have gone on to attend New York most select public and private high schools and our nation's most prestigious and esteemed colleges and universities. Our alumni have established themselves in the fields of Science, the Law, Business, Education, Technology, Public Service, and Medicine.
