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

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.
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.
