Renaissance and NCEA partnership

Renaissance is proud of our longstanding partnership with the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the exciting steps we are taking to support Catholic schools across the nation. Together we developed a first-of-its-kind assessment that uses real-time data insights to measure students’ faith journeys. This latest iteration of the Assessment of Catholic Religious Education (ACRE) will improve the evaluation of Catholic student education, including the effectiveness of curriculum and religion programs, as well as how students internalize and act upon their faith.
