What P.A.C.E. says about their university placement record and services:
- Congratulations to all of our graduates who have been groomed from an early age to become autonomous learners, demonstrating leadership, intellectual curiosity and an unselfish regard for others. Winning numerous national scholarships as well as the top university scholarships, having wonderful mentorship experiences behind them, and demonstrating altruism through their humanitarian experiences have allowed our students to be highly competitive candidates for sometimes limited positions. Often, it is difficult for a very bright student who is passionate about the sciences as well as the arts to make a choice Therefore, there are a number of compulsory courses at P.A.C.E. to allow for all of their doors to remain open. Through group and one on one counselling students are taught to research various programs at the different universities and to choose the program that is best suited to their career aspirations and not necessarily the university itself. We are very fortunate to have all of our graduates move on to their desired choices of study.
