State-licensed special education school K-12 serving autism and learning differences in Allegheny County

Pace School is a state-licensed special education school serving students K-12 with autism, emotional disturbance, and other learning differences across Allegheny County and surrounding areas. The school uniquely integrates educational instruction with on-site mental health and behavioral support, ensuring each student receives coordinated care tailored to their individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

With an average class size of just 10 students and a highly qualified faculty (80% hold advanced degrees), Pace creates a structured, supportive environment designed to help students succeed emotionally, intellectually, and physically. The school implements Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) for mental health, meaning therapists match specific interventions to each child's particular challenges—whether at school, with peers, or at home. Programs support students with autism, emotional disturbance, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays, and learning disabilities, with additional ADD/ADHD support available.

Founded in 1967, Pace School enrolls 84 students and offers rolling admissions with no application deadline. The school maintains a casual dress code, provides intramural sports and extracurricular activities, and offers summer programs and post-graduate year options for students who need extended support before transitioning to other settings.
