Pace Academy

Palmetto Achievement Center for Excellence (PACE) Academy charter school, an Alternative Education Campus (AEC), will provide evidence-based, multi-sensory, structured language instruction to students in the South Carolina Midlands.

The primary goal of PACE Academy is for all students to learn to read effectively and efficiently. With this goal in mind, PACE will ensure all teachers and classroom assistants are trained in multi-sensory, structured pedagogy, with the Orton-Gillingham Approach and are taught to implement such programs with intensity and fidelity. Teachers and classroom assistants will be provided with training in best practices and curriculum designed to meet the unique needs of dyslexic learners while meeting the needs of all learners. They will also be taught to use assessments to guide and differentiate their instruction to meet the individual needs of all students. Professional development will focus on multi-sensory/project-oriented instruction, student data analysis, technology, and social skill development to ensure the success of all students enrolled in PACE Academy. Students at PACE Academy will strive to master South Carolina College and Career-Ready Standards to build a strong educational foundation that will enable them to succeed in their future college and career paths.

PACE Academy, a FREE public charter school, is currently accepting applications for the 2021-2022 school year. We will begin with grades 3 – 7 and will only have 32 students in each grade level, which will allow us to have 2 classes per grade level. Students identified as struggling readers will have first priority in enrollment. Click APPLY NOW to help your child set the PACE for academic excellence in 2021!
