Alliance for Catholic Education

The Alliance for Catholic Education responds to the needs of the Church’s educational mission through service to children in elementary and secondary schools and strives to sustain, strengthen, and transform Catholic schools. Housed in the Institute for Educational Initiatives at the University of Notre Dame, ACE has become one of the university’s most far-reaching enterprises, present in hundreds of schools, dozens of U.S. Catholic dioceses, and several foreign countries. By preparing teachers and school leaders, providing a range of state-of-the-art services to schools, and facilitating widespread awareness, enthusiasm, and hope, ACE seeks to ensure that none of today’s social and economic hurdles will keep any child from experiencing the gift of an excellent Catholic education.
