Why Pace?

Founded in 1958 in Atlanta, Ga., Pace Academy is a co-educational, college-preparatory day school serving 1,115 students in grades Pre-First through 12. We strive to create prepared, confident citizens of the world through rigorous academic experiences, innovative global leadership programs, character education and close student-teacher relationships. We start small and THINK BIG.

Pace Race

For 36 years, the Pace Academy Booster Club has coordinated the Pace Pace, a 1-mile fun run and 5K race.

The goal of the Pace Race is two-fold: To offer a family friendly, community-building experience for Pace Academy, its neighbors and other fitness-minded partners, and to provide a competitive race environment that attracts local high-school track and cross-country teams, amateur runners and serious 5K competitors.

Proceeds from the Pace Race benefit the Booster Club, which supports Pace Athletics and physical education programs in all divisions.

The 36th annual Pace Race is scheduled for Saturday, April 21, 2018. Do you have questions or are you interested in helping out? Email pacerace@paceacademy.org to make this year’s Pace Race the most successful ever! And follow the Pace Race on Twitter!

The Courage to Strive for Excellence

At Pace Academy, our athletes are students first, and our mission to create well-rounded individuals means that our student-athletes use sports as a significant component of their mental, physical and emotional development. The lessons learned on the field, in the pool, and on the court prepare them to become leaders in business, education and their communities.
