Accreditation is a tool for school improvement and evaluation.
In any given year, all schools are involved in the accreditation process. The purpose of accreditation is to ensure that your school continuously examines, improves and reports on its growth and achievement. It is expected that the decisions made to plan school programs and activities are based on evidence. Accreditation ensures that information is collected over time so that your school has good evidence to make decisions about the programs and activities in which you are involved. The Accreditation Policy says that, in order for a school with students in grades 8-12 to be accredited, students must be involved in the accreditation process.
