History

The ACEA was founded by the Anglican Diocese of The Bahamas. [1]

In 2013, the ACEA was sued by parents of 26 students of St. John's College for cancelling prom and the graduation ceremony. [2] The ACEA had cancelled the prom for improper student behavior. [3] The parents claimed that the ACEA had breached its contract. [4] The ruling judge sided with the ACEA. [3]

In response to Hurricane Milton, the ACEA closed St. Anne's School and St. John's College. [5]

Schools

The ACEA consists of four schools: Bishop Michael Eldon School is located on Grand Bahama, St. Andrew's Anglican School is on Exuma, and St. Anne's School and St. John's College are on New Providence. [6]
