Joint Accreditation Overview

CIS and NEASC collaborate in a joint evaluation process for American / International Schools. Because a single set of standards and procedures have been endorsed by both groups, the school produces one Self-Study and hosts a single Team Visit. The Chair and Co-Chair, representing the two associations, convey the recommendations of the Visiting Team to their respective organizations. Each association then makes its own decision with regard to the terms of accreditation for the evaluated school.
