Jesuit Educational Association
Historical Note
The Jesuit Educational Association (JEA) was formed in about 1934 to reconcile Jesuit standards in education with those of national and regional accreditation organizations. The JEA divided its work into four principal subdivisions, called commissions: Commission on Colleges and Universities; Commission on Houses of Studies; Commission on Province Directors; and Commission on Secondary Schools. Over the years, the JEA appointed additional commissions and conducted conferences and workshops to address virtually every aspect of teaching and administration. JEA dissolved in 1970 and was succeeded by the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Univeristies and the Jesuit Secondary Education Association.
