Where We Serve: New Orleans

Quick Facts

Life in the City

We love living in New Orleans because the people here demonstrate a resilient spirit and rich faith in one another and the goodness and grace of God. With terrific cuisine from both land and sea, the culinary delights cannot be beat! After a long week of school, our community frequently visits a community favorite, Witt's End, for a much needed break from our hectic lifestyle.

New Orleans

It’s a place that was completely devastated by Hurricane Katrina and is still in the process of healing; however, as a group we can say that it’s a place filled with culture, great music, and great food. New Orleans is a wonderful place to live and teach. As the birthplace of jazz, the city has an incredible spirit that is manifested in numerous festivals, parades, and celebrations throughout the year. From Mardi Gras to Jazz Fest, the people of New Orleans live each day to the fullest.

  • "I said “yes” to ACE because I believe students deserve teachers who work to inspire their hearts and their minds, by being a witness to God’s love in their lives and encouraging them to believe in themselves and in their dreams. I hope, even in the smallest way, to be this kind of teacher for my students."
