Pace School, established in 1967 and situated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has evolved into a state-licensed approved private school and partial hospitalization program dedicated to serving children from school districts across Allegheny and surrounding counties.

The School’s primary focus is on empowering students to overcome educational and behavioral challenges, enabling them to lead safe, productive, and integrated lives. As one of only 33 approved private schools licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Pace School specializes in providing a free appropriate special education program for students with severe disabilities, including those with intellectual disabilities, specific learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, and/or autism spectrum disorder.

The School’s commitment to continuous improvement is evident in its rigorous, high-quality curriculum tailored to individual student needs. Furthermore, Pace School integrates a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) into its offerings, providing intensive mental health and psychiatric support for students with corresponding needs. With a solid endowment of $18.5 million and a history of successful collaboration with school districts and the community, Pace School stands as a beacon of specialized education and support for students facing significant challenges.
