Quick Facts

Life in the City

ACE Austin can be found keeping it caliente on Sixth Street, floating down the Guadalupe River, catching a live show in the city, exploring a dive restaurant, walking around UT, or taking a drive to visit the other TexACE communities.

Austin

Austin is one of the most coveted ACE sites. It’s the live music capital of the world and home to the world’s largest bat colony. It’s deep in the heart of Texas and a vintage college town where there’s always something to do, from book festivals to film festivals and even rowing on the Colorado River. For those who love the outdoors, fabulous routes along the river are available for biking, running, and leisurely strolls. With all of these draws, it is no surprise that Austin has a history of retaining ACE teachers beyond their two years and even welcoming teachers from other communities post-ACE!
