About Pace Center for Girls - Pasco
Pace Center for Girls - Pasco has served girls across Pasco County from New Port Richey since 1998. We are one center in a nonprofit network that began with 10 girls in Jacksonville in 1985, and our Day Program offers year-round middle and high school academics at no cost to families.
Classes follow the local public school district's curriculum, taught by certified teachers with individualized learning plans and a 1:14 teacher-to-student ratio. Girls can catch up on credits and work toward a high school diploma through credit recovery or a GED track. Each girl also has on-site access to counselors throughout the day, and our qualified therapists specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, trauma recovery and academic challenges. Our staff are trained in how trauma affects behavior.
Parents or guardians can enroll a girl directly, and schools, community partners or girls themselves can make a referral. An intake interview follows, enrollment is open year-round, and girls can stay up to four years. Beyond academics, we offer life skills development, career and college planning, and community service and leadership opportunities. Pace Reach, our community-based counseling program, is also available.
