PACT teachers commit to two summers and two academic years of coursework and full-time teaching in Rhode Island or Massachusetts Catholic schools. PACT forms Catholic school teachers through these two years of teaching, learning, and intentional Christian community. PACT teachers become eligible for Rhode Island certification, gain confidence as professional educators, and make a positive impact on Catholic schools.

TUITION-FREE MASTER’S DEGREE

Earn a master’s degree from Providence College in one of several M.Ed. and M.A. tracks for those with or without an educational background. 

TEACHING IN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Serve as a full-time teacher in Catholic schools throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, in placements across subject areas and grade levels.

COMMUNITY LIFE & SHARED SPIRITUALITY

Live, pray, and work together in an intentional Christian community, sharing a Catholic and Dominican spirituality with other PACT teachers. 

Established at Providence College in 2001, the PACT Program is a distinctive teacher preparation program that invites recent graduates to contribute two years of service as teachers in Catholic schools in New England. PACT is a proud member of the University Consortium for Catholic Education (UCCE).

PACT members teach classes in language arts, English literature, British and American literature, history, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, World Languages, Catholic Theology, and other subject areas.  They also coach sports teams, act as advisors to students, and are leaders of school retreats.
