Curriculum

At Marseilles Elementary School, we are committed to helping students build a strong foundation for their future success. The Illinois Postsecondary and Career Expectations (PaCE) Framework provides structured guidance for students, families, and educators on key experiences and information necessary for informed college and career planning.

Beginning in 6th grade, the PaCE Framework ensures students engage in:

• Career Exploration and Development – Understanding different career paths and personal interests.
• Postsecondary Education Exploration, Preparation, and Selection – Learning about high school, college, and training opportunities.
• Financial Aid and Literacy – Gaining awareness of financial planning for education and career goals.

All Illinois school districts are required to adopt and implement a PaCE Framework for grades 6-12 by July 1, 2025. This framework serves as a tool to align career readiness activities within schools and communities, helping students make informed decisions about their futures.
