Yes, Pace provides traditional school services. Pace’s Day Program offers a comprehensive educational experience aligned with local school districts’ curriculum and Florida Department of Education requirements. Our year-round program provides middle and high school academics to help girls stay on track or accelerate their learning. We create individualized learning plans and collaborate with local districts to ensure girls have the support they need to succeed and graduate.

Pace is a girl-centered program that addresses academics and social services in one place. This includes personalized, all-day access to counselors, college and career readiness, and life skills training and support. We maintain long-term contact with our girls, providing ongoing support as they navigate adulthood and continue their personal growth.

We strongly believe in the power of family engagement. Parents and guardians are encouraged to be actively involved in their girl’s progress by participating in regular meetings, events, and workshops. Our team works closely with families to create personalized goals for each girl, and we provide regular updates on their development.

Pace evaluates success based on improvements in academics and social behavior, as well as feedback from girls and families. 

Girls can be enrolled for up to four years but will vary based on their educational goals and individualized plans. 

Pace is not a residential program. Girls attend Pace for typical school day hours. 

Pace partners with local, state, and national organizations, emphasizing community engagement to provide girls with opportunities for hands-on experience, career skill development and college or trade school exploration. In addition, we connect girls with scholarship opportunities.
