I know next fall feels eons away, with much to get through between now and then. However, those of us at schools are already making plans. Pacem School, where I teach, is holding a virtual open house. (See info below)

Take care.

Prospective families are invited to attend our Open House. Come learn about Pacem School's full-time programs and homeschool classes. Pacem School is a State approved 6th-12th grade school, and in addition, we offer classes and support for homeschoolers and part-time students aged 10 – 18.

This past year has been exceptionally challenging for everyone, and especially our young people and their families. Here is what one parent says about the role of Pacem School in their lives: "You are my HEROES! My daughter has been engaged and challenged throughout the pandemic thanks to all of you. She is inspired, creating and looking toward the future even though the weight of the pandemic is upon all of us. I appreciate all of the extra effort you have put in to bring the school together in person this fall and keeping students safe. I also appreciate all the hard work you are doing to provide online opportunities simultaneously with in person learning. That is a huge feat and you are doing it with such grace. Thank you for challenging and inspiring her during this really difficult time. You have done an incredible job keeping the Pacem Community whole and thriving."

Pacem's very small classes (generally less than 8 students), access to outdoor space, and student-driven curriculum put us in a unique and flexible position to meet the intellectual and emotional needs of each student while ensuring everyone's health and safety. Our students are curious and passionate. We give them time and freedom to pursue their interests while supporting them with an intellectually rich curriculum. Our exceptional faculty, all experts in their fields, inspire and guide our students every day. Pacem provides a community where each student is known and cherished. This setting allows our students to develop confidence, feel empowered, and to blossom
