Schools

School leaders establish a seamless link between accreditation and school improvement using accreditation as a dynamic catalyst for the continuous improvement process.  School Accreditation can be used by individual institutions, both public and private, and educational service agencies. 

School leaders engaged in AdvancED Accreditation will:

• Take stock of themselves in relation to a set of research based quality standards
• Establish a vision, assess their current reality, implement and improvement plan, monitor progress and evaluate results
• Enhance the school’s best thinking with the insights and perspectives of an external review team.

AdvancED provides an effective engine for systematizing and maximizing school improvement efforts.  Schools testify to the significant impact and benefit that stem from integrating school improvement and accreditation, including increased student performance.
