The Academy for Gifted Children has made a modification to the usual system that Canadian public schools usually use. Rather than simply allowing the students to proceed through grades 1 to 12, the Academy has merged grades 7 and 8 into one year, as well as added an extra year after grade 12. This is to allow students to graduate with significantly more credits than those graduating from public school; however, the students graduating from P.A.C.E. still graduate at the same age.
The Academy for Gifted Children, also known as P.A.C.E. (Programming for Academic and Creative Excellence), was founded in 1993 by former Earl Haig Secondary School teachers Barbara Rosenberg and the late Dennis Reynolds, and has increased in admission since its inception. 1993 (MCMXCIII) was a common year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar and marked the Beginning of the International Decade to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination (1993-2003). ...
