The Academy for Gifted Children, known more commonly as P.A.C.E. (Programming for Academic and Creative Excellence)[1] is a non-denominational primary school in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada founded by former teachers Dennis Reynolds & Barbara Rosenberg. Entrance is by a competitive examination called the WISC-V, or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children.
The school was founded in 1993 by former Earl Haig Secondary School teachers Dennis Reynolds, Michael "Dnomso Nilknarf" Richards & Barbara Rosenberg. It started off as a school for grades 1-8 with 25 students. It currently serves students from grades 1 through 8. Rosenberg remained as the "director" (the term used for the principal) until the end of the 2018–2019 school year, when the vice-principal at the time, Janice Gruchy replaced Rosenberg as the director. Nilknarf publicly funded the opening of the school in 1993.
