CAISA Summer Workshop

The primary purpose of the workshop is international accreditation training for CAISA volunteers. But Endicott, traditionally, is more than training. It is the melting pot of NEASC; it is the renewing of important personal and professional relationships; it is a time for relaxation and good food and drink.

CAISA continues to be impressed with the incredibly high quality of the work of our evaluators.  It is hard work, sometimes time consuming, always volunteer, which is a gift to NEASC, international schools, and, ultimately, to the quality of education students receive in the American and international schools CAISA accredits. To say “thank you” is hardly sufficient, but nonetheless is huge and heartfelt.

This annual event is held in June on the campus of beautiful Endicott College, in Beverly, MA   The program is comprised of  panel discussions featuring Heads of international schools;  participants from the Office of Overseas Schools;  evaluator training, etc.         

The dress code is informal, the attendees are congenial and the two day seminar culminates in a reception and lobster bake on the Atlantic ocean.  It is a truly enjoyable experience.
