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 Academy Life Trustee Elisa Ezor and her husband, Bobby Ezor, are new members of The Castle Circle.

Pace Academy Life Trustee ELISA EZOR says the Greek proverb "A society grows great when old men and women plant trees whose shade they shall never sit in" has motivated her to make charitable donations throughout her life.

With this message of giving in mind, Ezor and her husband, BOBBY EZOR, recently arranged a charitable bequest to Pace through their wills, becoming members of The Castle Circle.

Pace Academy's Action Plan for Racial Equity

Pace Academy is committed to eradicating racism and its legacy, and to dismantling any racial hierarchies within our school community. As an institution of learning, we have a responsibility to ensure that every community member feels supported, valued and safe. 

Changes to Upper School Summer Reading

In acknowledgement of the profoundly distressing and hopefully transformational national events of the past few weeks, the Upper School has made a change to its summer-reading assignments. All Upper School students are now required to read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas.

Citizens of the World in Action

At Pace, we talk a great deal about our mission: To create prepared, confident citizens of the world. But what does that look like when conversations take place through screens rather than in person? When morning assemblies move online and advisory groups meet via Zoom?
