Where We Serve: St. Petersburg

Quick Facts

Life in the City

There is so much to do around where we live—we could go to any number of great beaches, Busch Gardens is very close and all the theme parks in Orlando are only a few hours away. There are always events going on nearby… it’s a happening place!

St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is a wonderful place to live and teach. In addition to hosting the ACE Teaching Fellows program, this community welcomes several other arms of ACE, including ACE Academies. In fact, one could say that the amount of ACE activity in St. Petersburg makes it feel like Notre Dame away from home. Our community lives in Pinellas Park on a peninsula between the Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. We are a short drive from the city of Tampa and several great beaches.
