VVA is currently undergoing a WASC accreditation review. By undergoing the accreditation process, schools demonstrate their commitment to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for success. We encourage parents and students to participate in this important process. 

• ACS WASC's Mission advances and validates quality ongoing school improvement by supporting its private and public elementary, secondary, and postsecondary member institutions to engage in a rigorous and relevant self-evaluation and peer review process that focuses on equity, inclusion, and access to high-level, rigorous learning opportunities for all students. 

• Why Accreditation?

-Quality Education: A rigorous and relevant curriculum to meet student needs.

-Program Integrity: Validated programs and accurate transcripts.

-Global Recognition: Easier transfer of credits for national and international studies.

-Continuous Improvement: Regular evaluation and enhancement of school practices.

-Professional Culture: A strong foundation for staff development and collaboration.
