In 1958, an interfaith group of community leaders envisioned an inclusive learning environment open to fresh ideas and debate. Today, Pace Academy is exactly what its founders had in mind.

Pace Academy serves 1,105 students in pre-first through twelfth grade and strives to create prepared, confident citizens of the world through rigorous academic experiences, innovative global leadership programs, character education and close student-teacher relationships.

With a student-teacher ratio of nine-to-one and an average class size of 15, Pace Academy students develop a deep understanding of the world and the people around them.

The school adheres to Judeo-Christian values, and through programs like the Isdell Center for Global Leadership, encourages students to think big.

Pace Academy graduates go on to the finest colleges and universities in the U.S. and abroad, and while they work toward success, they understand that true success means making a difference in the lives of others.

WHAT’S NEW Pace Academy is consolidating its satellite athletic facilities at its Riverview Sports Complex in Cobb County after selling its Warren Road Softball Complex to the Galloway School. Proceeds are being used to construct state-of-the-art facilities for softball and middle school baseball. In addition, during the 2016–2017 school year, the Pace community will attempt to think critically about climate, the Isdell Center for Global Leadership’s third annual global theme. Teachers will incorporate climate issues and study into their curriculum.
