    North Dakota State Office
    Welcome
    Welcome to the North Dakota State Office Web site of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI). NCA CASI is an accreditation division of AdvancED. Learn more about AdvancED.
    North Dakota NCA CASI accredits more than 150 schools in the state of North Dakota including public elementary, middle, secondary and unit schools and non-public schools serving about 68,700 students. Approximately two-thirds of all students in K-12 public and non-public schools in North Dakota attend a school accredited by NCA CASI. There are currently eight districts in the state engaged in the AdvancED District Accreditation Model and these include Bismarck, Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, Jamestown, Mandan, West Fargo, and Williston.
    North Dakota NCA CASI has a long history of collaboration with the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (ND DPI) in relation to the accreditation of schools. The AdvancED/NCA CASI Continuous Improvement Model fulfills the state education improvement process requirement for state accreditation. We're very proud of our partnership with ND DPI.
    North Dakota NCA CASI also is proud to provide an annual Fall School Improvement conference in early October and other regional workshops and technical assistance opportunities throughout the year.
    Thank you for visiting our Web site. We hope you find it useful and informative. Please call our office if you would like additional information regarding the accreditation process, resources and/or professional development opportunities.
