Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE)

Goal of Program: Notre Dame's ACE Teaching Fellows Program forms passionate college graduates to serve as full-time teachers in underserved Catholic elementary, middle, and high school classrooms across the country. Over the course of two summers and two academic years, our teaching fellows earn a cost-free Master of Education degree from the University of Notre Dame, professional training and experience in the field, as well as, state licensure. Our teachers live in intentional communities of 4-6 members and have ample opportunities for spiritual development, coaching, and mentorship outside of the classroom. 

Placement Type: Two years of teaching in an underserved Catholic school. Placements are at the elementary, middle, and high school level. Our teachers spend two summers at the University of Notre Dame, earning a Master of Education degree.
