Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Service through Teaching program

The Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Service through Teaching program is beginning its eighteenth year of placing graduates of Notre Dame and other universities as teachers in under-resourced Catholic schools across America. To serve these needy schools, ACE has created a two-year program in which participants earn a Master in Education degree as they serve as full-time teachers. With its fully accredited M.Ed. and multiple levels of professional and personal support, ACE truly prepares its participants to meet the challenges they will encounter in their classrooms. After their two-year service commitment, ACE graduates contribute to diverse disciplines and varied professions, including public policy, teaching, law, and doctoral studies in fields from education to physics.

Beginning in 1994 with just 40 teachers, ACE currently places over 175 teachers in 30 communities throughout the United States. Much of this incredible growth has resulted directly from your willingness to inform your students about ACE. This year we ask for your continued assistance. We are happy to attend a class during this semester to present on ACE for 5 to 10 minutes and answer any questions that your students may have. Please fill in the linked form if you are interested and we would be happy to coordinate a classroom visit. (The form may be found here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/nd.edu/viewform?formkey=dE53THdsOXlGNGZRQms1Um95Tzdvbnc6MQ.) If you have any questions about our program, please feel welcome to stop in our office in our new home, Carole Sandner Hall, located just north of the Basilica, or call 574-631-7052.
