Schools in our region are accredited through the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), an accreditation division of AdvancED that has been accrediting schools since 1917. Our goal is to help schools and school systems throughout the Northwest region by focusing on improving student achievement and organizational effectiveness. The AdvancED Northwest Regional Office is the newest AdvancED location serving the seven Northwest states, including:

We are here to support you in every aspect of accreditation and school improvement, from hosting External Reviews to providing technical assistance and professional development. If you’re located in any of the states listed above and need assistance, please contact our office.
