Anglican Central Education Authority Explained

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

History

The ACEA was founded by the Anglican Diocese of The Bahamas.

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.

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

Schools

There are four schools that the ACEA is made of. On Grand Bahama is Bishop Michael Eldon School. On Exuma is St. Andrew's Anglican School. On New Providence are St. Anne's School and St. John's College.[6]
