Do
I need a Private Consultation?
If you are experiencing
any home school challenges, concerns or just need some affirmation,
an experienced consultant is available to meet with you privately,
design or redesign your educational goals, or give personalized guidance.
We can help with curriculum selection, organization, testing, or other
concerns. Please contact us at the below email address and give us
your name and information and we will get back to you immediately.
Educational
Needs
PACES is proud to offer
a one-day-a-week classical education program called PAideia Classical
Education. The word paideia (pie-day-uh) is drawn from the Greek word
paidos, which means "educating the whole". The goal of PAideia is
to provide a rigorous, liberal arts education in which students will
develop a love of learning, critical thinking skills and the ability
to continue educating themselves as life-long learners. To learn more

Testing
Services
PACES provides a complete
testing service for your home schooled student. Each spring the Stanford
Achievement Test is given to those home educated students who would
like to take the test in a group setting. The reasonable cost for
this service includes a review of scores and subsets with suggestions
for curriculum for the next year, if the parent so chooses. Testing
dates are under PAideia:Schedules.
For parents interested
in individual testing, sessions are scheduled at the home office at
the convenience of the parents and students. Testing is available
for academic achievement, reading challenges and attention disorders.
Call 936-890-9108 for individual prices and times.
