Feedback from Schools who have recieved an IACE Grant:

“If it were not for the generosity of your organization and it’s grant this past spring, we would not be where we are today. I just wanted you and IACE to be aware of the progress we have made in providing the students of our predominately Italian Parish a language that many in their families speak even today”- Bo C. [St. Sebastian]

“IACE has been wonderfully accommodating as we continue to strengthen our Italian program: not only did you assist us with finding a teacher, and with scheduling, and program changes, but your able staff have been generous with assistance in grant follow- up.” Jenny B. [P.S. 859]

“I am the Italian teacher at the school and have all these wonderful supplies that I can use with the students now. I greatly appreciate the money sent, it has been well spent”- Britta M. J. [Marble Hill]

“Because of your generosity, we can continue to educate our children in the Italian language.” – Barbara M. [St. Francis of Assisi]

“Your ongoing contributions support us in our mission to provide a distinctly classical liberal arts education.....It engages them in 'The Great Conversation' passed down through the ages, and prepares them not only for college, but also for life.”– Joseph P. [Montfort Academy]
