Academy of Catholic Teaching (ACT) is an innovative three-year collaborative program that creates pathways for inspired education students to teach by example in San Diego's K-12 Catholic schools.
ACT is designed to provide K-12 school teacher in Catholic schools with rigorous coursework, field experiences that build towards earning a Dual Teaching Credential (MEd in Curriculum and Instruction with a Multiple Subject or Single Subject Credential and Education Specialist Credential), involvement within the Catholic community, and spiritual development.
