Anglican Central Education Authority

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Anglican Central Education Authority (ACEA) is a Christian educational organization headquartered in Nassau, The Bahamas.[1]

History

[edit]

The ACEA was founded by the Anglican Diocese of The Bahamas.[1]

In 2013, the ACEA was sued by parents of 26 students of St. John's College for cancelling prom and the graduation ceremony.[2] The ACEA had cancelled the prom for improper student behavior.[3] The parents claimed that the ACEA had breached its contract.[4] The ruling judge sided with the ACEA.[3]

In response to Hurricane Milton, the ACEA closed St. Anne's School and St. John's College.[5]

Schools

[edit]

The ACEA consists of four schools: Bishop Michael Eldon School is located on Grand Bahama, St. Andrew's Anglican School is on Exuma, and St. Anne's School and St. John's College are on New Providence.[6]
