# PACE catalog

> The shared ACE PACE curriculum, plus your school's own custom subjects and edits

The PACE catalog is Zion's reference to the ACE PACE curriculum. It lists every PACE a school can assign to a student, organized by subject and level. Administrators browse and manage it from Settings, then PACEs. To put a PACE in a student's hands, use [PACE assignments](/features/students/pace-assignments).

## Catalog scope

Zion ships with the shared ICCE Africa PACE catalog, available to every school. It covers:

* **Core subjects**, numbered from 1001 upward: Math, English, Science, Social Studies, Word Building, and more, across levels 1 through 12.
* **Bible Reading**, also numbered from 1001 upward.
* **A large range of electives and Lifepac courses**. Many of these carry a course code instead of a PACE number (for example, a Lifepac science course numbered 1 through 5) and sit outside the numbered progression, since they are not part of a school's core numbered sequence.

The exact subject list, and how many PACEs exist per subject and level, is visible in the catalog itself. Do not assume a fixed count per subject; the catalog is the source of truth, not a printed formula.

## Reading Readiness and ABC

The earliest, pre-Level-1 PACEs sit in two separate readiness levels, shown and filtered separately:

* **Reading Readiness (RR)**: English, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
* **ABC**: Animal Science, Bible Reading, and Word Building.

These PACEs are completed through an activity rather than a test. See [Grading overview](/features/grading/overview) for how activity PACEs are marked done.

## Where to find it

Navigate to Settings, then PACEs, to open the catalog. Each row shows the PACE number (or course code), subject, level, page count, and description. Selecting a PACE opens its detail page, which also lists every student in the school currently in progress on that PACE.

## Searching and filtering

<Steps>
  <Step title="Search by number or keyword">
    Type a PACE number or a keyword into the search field to narrow the list to matching PACEs.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by subject">
    Use the subject dropdown to show only PACEs for one subject, for example Math or Science.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter by level">
    Use the level dropdown to show only PACEs for one level: Reading Readiness, ABC, or Level 1 through 12.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Combine filters">
    Search, subject, and level filters apply together, so you can narrow to, for example, Math PACEs at level 3.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Within a subject, PACEs and course-coded courses sort in their true numeric order, so a ten-part course reads 1 through 10, not 1, 10, 2, 3, and so on.

## Adding your school's own subjects and PACEs

<Frame caption="The catalog editor, where an administrator adds custom subjects and corrects a PACE.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/zion/mganNM3cm2iAGtdr/images/features/paces/catalog-2-editor.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=mganNM3cm2iAGtdr&q=85&s=61978ce3946dfaa485ab17a891e33030" alt="PACE catalog editor listing subjects and PACEs with controls for adding and editing them" width="2880" height="1800" data-path="images/features/paces/catalog-2-editor.png" />
</Frame>

If your school teaches a subject the shared catalog does not cover, an administrator can add it as a custom subject, visible only to your school.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Custom subjects">
    On the PACE catalog page, find the Custom subjects card above the main table.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add custom subject">
    Give the subject a name and a starting and ending PACE number. Zion creates one PACE for every number in that range.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resize later if needed">
    Edit the subject at any time to grow or shrink its PACE range. A PACE already assigned to a student cannot be removed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

A custom subject and its PACEs can also be deleted entirely, as long as none of its PACEs are assigned to a student.

## Editing a PACE's page count and level

Any PACE in your school's catalog view, including the shared ICCE Africa catalog, shows a page count and a level. An administrator can correct either one:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the edit control">
    From the catalog table, click a PACE's page count, or open the PACE's detail page and use Edit details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update the total pages, the level, or both">
    Total pages is the number of pages in the PACE booklet, and bounds the page a student can set as a Goal Check target. Level is the grade level the PACE belongs to; this is mainly used to fill in a level missing from an elective.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The change applies to your school's view of that PACE immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Your school's own custom subjects are fully yours to edit. The shared ICCE Africa catalog is maintained centrally; a school's edits to a shared PACE's page count or level may be limited, since those rows are shared by every school on Zion.
</Note>

## PACE detail page

Opening a PACE from the catalog shows:

* PACE number or course code
* Subject
* Level
* Page count
* Students in the school currently in progress on that PACE

This detail page is where you confirm who is working on a given PACE before you decide whether to assign it to someone else.

## What the catalog does not do

<Warning>
  The catalog is where you manage the curriculum reference itself, not where you assign it. Assigning a PACE to a student, tracking completion, and enforcing subject progression happen on the student's own page, not here.
</Warning>

* You cannot assign a PACE to a student from the catalog. Open the student's detail page instead.
* Subject progression rules (a student must pass earlier PACEs in a subject before a later one is assignable) are enforced at assignment time, not shown as a rule engine in the catalog.
* A PACE outside your school's catalog, whether the shared catalog or another school's custom subject, cannot be assigned to your students.
