Strategic Partners
The Middle School
Mindset Initiative
This collaborative initiative is designed to support teachers, strengthen classroom practice, and help schools build sustainable systems for middle school success. It brings together complementary resources from multiple organizations across three pathways of growth.
Take the SurveyThe Student Pathway to Success
A powerful, unified system for Catholic schools — each partner plays a distinct role in the student journey.
Each brings a distinct strength — but together, they create a powerful, unified system that supports the whole child.
United in Mission:
Serving Every Student, Every Day
When four trusted partners align, something powerful happens. Together, they create a unified system that supports the whole child — ensuring every student is seen, supported, and set up to thrive.
The Power of Alignment
When four trusted partners align, something powerful happens. ADAC equips teachers with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to design for every learner. Sadlier empowers every student with the knowledge and understanding of language and vocabulary needed to access learning. Friendzy builds student readiness by helping learners manage stress, develop resilience, and engage with confidence. Archangel ensures this work is delivered consistently and sustainably across classrooms.
Each brings a distinct strength, but together, they create a powerful, cohesive, and unique system that supports the whole child. This is more than a partnership; it is a shared mission of action to help Catholic schools deepen their impact and ensure every student is known, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Meet the Partners
Four distinct organizations, one shared commitment to every student.
ADAC
Designs the Learning
ADAC partners with PK–12 schools, systems, and networks nationwide to help educators and leaders confidently meet the needs of every student. Through tailored professional learning workshops, coaching, strategic services, and direct student services, we provide the guidance schools need to grow in mission, impact, and sustainability—whether in person, virtually, or through ongoing learning pathways.
Sadlier
Builds the Language
For nearly two centuries, Sadlier has partnered with educators and schools to provide research-based, standards-aligned PreK–12 programs in literacy and mathematics that support academic achievement.
Our comprehensive programs, including Vocabulary Workshop, Progress in Mathematics, and From Phonics to Reading, build vocabulary, grammar, writing, and mathematical proficiency through explicit, structured instruction and data-informed practice.
Supported by meaningful professional learning and strategic partnerships, Sadlier helps schools strengthen instruction, build leadership capacity, and create environments where every student can thrive.
Friendzy
Prepares the Learner
Friendzy is a faith-based character education program designed to help schools build a culture where every student feels seen, known, and truly belongs. The Middle School Mindset training helps educators address the increasing stress and anxiety adolescent students are facing today. Friendzy equips teachers with practical, turnkey tools and a deeper understanding of what's happening inside the middle school brain, enabling them to confidently support their students.
Archangel
Delivers & Scales the System
Archangel Technology Education is the connective force that brings the entire partnership to life. We work directly with Catholic schools to implement, support, and scale each partner's tools and programs with fidelity — ensuring that great resources actually reach every classroom, every day.
Archangel manages the relationships, coordinates the systems, and provides the ongoing guidance schools need to sustain meaningful impact. We don't just connect schools to partners; we walk alongside them through every step of the journey.
PixelEDU
Powers the Experience
PixelEDU is a powerful school operations and communications platform built to modernize how Catholic schools manage their campuses. PixelEDU enables schools to display dynamic, branded digital signage across every hallway, classroom, and common area — keeping students, staff, and visitors informed and engaged throughout the day.
For Archangel partner schools, PixelEDU becomes the connective tissue that ties everything together — displaying curriculum content, partner resources, announcements, and safety messaging all from one easy-to-use system.
Why This Matters
When schools implement all four together, the results are transformative.
Instruction is designed using a Universal Design for Learning framework (ADAC), vocabulary is taught (Sadlier), students are prepared (Friendzy), and everything is delivered seamlessly (Archangel).
Without readiness, access, and rigor — you don't reach every student. Without delivery, even the best systems don't get implemented with fidelity.
This is what alignment in action looks like.
