Accreditation Process - Independent Schools

The Accreditation Cycle

Accreditation is not a single event, but rather an ongoing, voluntary cycle of comprehensive internal and external assessments, short and long-term strategic planning, and periodic reporting sustained by professional partnership and support. In addition to the decennial cycle, the NEASC Commission on Independent Schools requires demonstrated continued alignment with NEASC Standards through an annual report, the two-year, and the five-year updates to maintain their NEASC accreditation.
