School Accreditation

Accreditation by NEASC, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education, indicates that a school meets or exceeds established criteria within the profession for the assessment of institutional quality through periodic process of self-study and peer review. An accredited school has the resources to achieve its stated purposes and provides evidence that its students are benefiting from the curricular and co-curricular program offered at the school.
More than 165 American and international schools in 65 nations outside of the United States are involved in some aspect of the NEASC accreditation process.

The Council of International Schools is the premier organisation in International Education for the accreditation of schools and Best Practice development. CIS is a not-for-profit organisation of a truly worldwide international educational community comprising over 500 member schools and 400 colleges/universities. It has experience of K–12 education in more than 100 countries and many of the Council's Officers and Consultants are former heads of international schools. The central purpose of CIS is to enable member organisations to achieve and deliver the highest standards in international education and continually improve the outcome of student learning.
