Pacem School is an independent alternative middle and high school in Montpelier, Vermont.
History and overview
The school was founded in 2006 to provide classes and resources to local home-schooled students.[1] In 2012, the school became a state of Vermont Recognized School[2] and admitted its first full-time students. In 2015, the school gained status as an Approved Independent school.[3][4]
Academics and philosophy
The school’s name, Pacem, means “peace” in Latin. This means that the school teaches students to solve problems peacefully and collaboratively and creates a community that honors everyone. In keeping with this, the school is governed using the sociocratic decision-making process.[5] In addition, students are taught to use conflict resolution strategies and are encouraged to participate in community events.[6]
