The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and recognizing high levels of academic achievement for students and teachers. In addition, we act as a catalyst for increasing student achievement through improved school performance and accountability. We work to foster partnerships that provide educational opportunities and trainings for our members.

CAE is a membership organization that asks members to commit to actively advocate and create school cultures that value academic achievement for all students and seek to provide expanded opportunities for students to excel while supporting teachers, schools, and classrooms in this work. In addition to membership, service revenues, and earnings from several endowments, CAE raises funds and in-kind contributions to underwrite its statewide work in support of student and educator recognition, and the promotion of academic enrichment.
