Accreditation Overview for EE-12 Schools

We are pleased to announce our finalized ACSI Inspire accreditation protocol. 

Please visit our NEW Accreditation Documents page for the most up to date information.

The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) promotes the value and worthiness of accreditation and encourages each school and early education program to continuously pursue excellence to truly flourish. This pursuit matches the biblical directive of approving “things that are excellent” (Philippians 1:10, KJV). The “accredited” seal denotes a school that has met institutional standards of quality and verifies a commitment to strategic improvement and ongoing accountability. The process of accreditation involves three significant elements:

  1. Intensive, institution-wide self-appraisal, analysis, and improvement planning.
  2. External consultation, review, validation, and insights from a visiting peer group.
  3. Ongoing accountability for improvement through annual reporting and renewal.

ACSI Inspire Accreditation Protocol*

The ACSI Inspire accreditation protocol is aligned with ACSI's Flourishing Schools research. The process is thought-provoking in its approach, stimulating in its methods, and efficient in its procedures. Its core goal is to provoke a reflective and interactive dialogue among the stakeholders of a school in order to drive school improvement. The school will be positioned to refine its plan for student learning and organizational effectiveness on the basis of its reflection on the six Domains and the insights of the visiting team.
