The Providence Alliance for Catholic Teachers (PACT)

PACT teachers commit to two summers and two academic years of coursework and full-time teaching in Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island Catholic schools. PACT forms Catholic school teachers through these two years of teaching, learning, and intentional Christian community. PACT teachers become eligible for Rhode Island certification, gain confidence as professional educators, and make a positive impact on Catholic schools.

TUITION-FREE MASTER’S DEGREE

TEACHING IN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Serve as a full-time teacher in Catholic schools throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, in placements across subject areas and grade levels.

COMMUNITY LIFE & SHARED SPIRITUALITY

Live, pray, and work together in an intentional Christian community, sharing a Catholic and Dominican spirituality with other PACT teachers.
