ACS WASC Accreditation Process
ACS WASC accreditation is a process schools use to monitor student learning and set school improvement goals. Schools assess their program and the impact on student learning with respect to the ACS WASC criteria and other accreditation factors. Every six years, accredited schools conduct a self-study and host a self-study visit. The self-study process culminates in the refinement of a schoolwide action plan. Throughout the accreditation cycle, schools are expected to address the schoolwide action plan and demonstrate evidence of acceptable student achievement and school improvement. Appropriate reports and reviews throughout the six-year cycle of accreditation support this process.
Purpose of Accreditation
Assures a school community that the school’s purposes are appropriate and being accomplished through a viable education program
Validates the integrity of the school’s program and transcripts
Facilitates transfer of credits to other English-speaking schools (critical for college/university acceptance worldwide)
Fosters the ongoing improvement of the school’s programs and operations to support student learning
Provides valuable insight from fellow educators visiting the school
