ADAC

What ADAC does

ADAC, Inc. is a privately held, national education services firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in Ogunquit, Maine. The firm delivers professional learning, instructional coaching, strategic consulting, and federally funded direct student services to PK-12 schools across the United States, with particular depth in Catholic, faith-based, and other non-public schools. ADAC reports reaching 3,500+ schools, 50+ archdioceses and private school networks, 150,000+ teachers, and 875,000+ students across 30+ states, despite a core team of only 16 employees — an operating model that is highly asset-light and reliant on a bench of adjunct consultants and coaches.

The company's product portfolio is organized into four core service lines: (1) Professional Learning Services (virtual and in-person workshops, multi-day trainings, keynotes, customized consulting and instructional coaching), (2) Learning Pathways (structured multi-week and yearlong sequenced programs such as Tier 1 Core Instruction, Executive Function, Restorative Practices, Inclusive Classrooms, and the National Catholic School Leadership Program), (3) Strategic Services (instructional program evaluations, professional learning days, board training, fundraising and development audits), and (4) Title I and IDEA Direct Student Services — federally funded direct instruction and compliance support for non-public schools, including targeted literacy and math instruction, progress monitoring, and equitable services administration. The Direct Services line grew 300%+ in the 2025-26 school year and now represents the fastest-scaling revenue stream. ADAC also operates an e-commerce storefront selling downloadable, research-backed teacher toolkits at price points from free to $149 per school license.

Revenue mechanics are a mix of customized, quote-based professional services contracts (workshops, coaching, strategic engagements, often multi-year) and one-time digital product sales. Distribution is split between a direct enterprise field-sales motion targeting school leadership and a self-serve DTC channel via theadac.com/store. ADAC has no disclosed proprietary technology platform and discloses no external funding rounds; the firm appears to be bootstrapped and profitable enough to fund recent expansion organically. Customer reach is anchored by deep Catholic-school expertise, complemented by public, charter, and private school segments, and extended through a six-partner vendor ecosystem that includes curriculum publisher William H. Sadlier, the National Catholic Educational Association, and several SEL and ed-tech specialists.
