We are very excited to introduce “P.A.C.E.: Players Academic Club of Excellence”. At Platinum IE we are committed to recognizing the academic excellence of our players. By honoring achievements in the classroom, the goal is to ignite and inspire academic excellence within the club, within each team, and most importantly within each Platinum IE individual.
If we can get one more child in our club excited about achieving higher academic standards in their life then we have been successful. Can you imagine if we inspire 2, 3, or even 5 athletes on each team to set and achieve higher academic goals/standards? Then, we as a club and as an academic culture will have been wonderfully successful.
The idea of “Setting the P.A.C.E.” is for higher educational purposes: College. At Platinum IE, we are geared to create a culture of student-athletes who wish to achieve more by using soccer as a tool to get them to higher education. “Setting the P.A.C.E.” will be our motto!
Criteria for P.A.C.E. Recognition Program: Any current Platinum IE student-athlete with a GPA of 3.5 or higher
Whether you’re in high school or college, your grade-point average, or GPA, is important for your future. You need a minimum GPA for admission to top-level universities, and once you’ve started your degree, you may need to maintain a minimum GPA to continue your studies. An elementary GPA, as opposed to a weighted one, takes into account the grades you have received in each of the classes you have completed, regardless of the number of credits the class earns you. It’s a simple average of all your grades.
