Pacem School is an independent alternative middle and high school in Montpelier, Vermont. The name of the school is derived from Latin word pacem, which means peace.
History
editEarly Years (2006 - 2011)
editIn 2006, Pacem Learning Community (PLC) started to offer classes to home-schooled students located in Central Vermont. Then in the following year (2007) the PLC changed their location to Vermont College of Fine Arts (VCFA). This change in location first put Pacem in the capital of Vermont & Vermont's hub of cultural, artistic, intellectual, civic, & culinary activity.[1]
Pacem's Independence (2012 - Present Day)
editIn February 2012 Pacem was recognized by the Vermont Department of Education to open as a "'State Recognized"' and independent high school. This change had a board & circle meeting to change the name from Pacem Learning Community to Pacem School, as it was better reflecting their new status. Then in 2015, Pacem became an approved independent school and with this newfound status allowed Pacem to receive money for students in "choice" towns. 2016 was celebrated because it would be Pacem's 10 year anniversary.[1] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pacem School in Montpelier, Vermont, implemented outdoor classrooms equipped with tents, tarpaulin covers, power, and Wi-Fi to facilitate socially distanced learning while fostering environmental engagement.[2]
