The Team Visit

The following briefly defines the role of the Visiting Team, and are intended for dissemination to all who are involved in the Self-Study and Team Visit processes - school staff, students, and others in the school community.

 The Visiting Team must make an overall judgement as to how well the school is doing in terms of:

• its own Philosophy and Objectives
  
• the NEASC Standards for Accreditation

In addition, the Team will make an overall recommendation  to NEASC with regard to the initial accreditation or continued accreditation of the school. This recommendation will be sent directly to NEASC with the Visiting Team Report.

In addition, the visiting team will:

• Become thoroughly acquainted with the school's Self-Study, and assure itself that there has been widespread participation in the production of that document.
   
• Visit classrooms, review student’s work, inspect the facilities, examine materials and talk to students, parents, board members and staff - including chairpersons responsible for Sections of the Self-Study.
   
• Spend time together comparing notes, discussing and reaching consensus with regard to the Visiting Team Report.
