What Our Pace Parents Say

"Pace continues to exceed my expectations! Yesterday was the first night Logan has ever volunteered to do homework! This is a reflection of Pace restoring lost confidence in his ability to achieve academically. Again, the depth of gratitude cannot be expressed in words but my soul delights in God’s provision."

Current Pace Parent - Jennifer Tanner

What Our Pace Parents Say

“I wasn’t able to read or do math before I went there. Just to be with people who had the patience to sit with me to actually work through things with me and teach me things it’s something I carry so proudly. It’s given me confidence. I went to college, graduated with a BFA and now I have my own company. None of this would have been possible without my time at Pace Brantley.”   Pace Brantley Alumni – Sarah H.
