AdvancED Reaccreditation
From the desk of Rod Fletcher, Headmaster:
Every five years we are reaccredited by AdvancED.聽聽 Reaccreditation is an arduous process by which we prove that we meet external standards and show that we are continuously improving as a school.聽 We have chosen AdvancED as our accrediting agency because of its rigor and reputation 鈥 in my opinion it is the best one to provide validation to a school community.聽 (From the AdvancED web site, 鈥淎dvancED is the largest community of education professionals in the world. We are a non-profit, non-partisan organization that conducts rigorous, on-site external reviews of PreK-12 schools and school systems to ensure that all learners realize their full potential.鈥 www.advanc-ed.org)
This week we went through our five-year reaccreditation.聽 After months of work, we presented a detailed report of 91猫先生 to an external review team who spent two and a half days on campus examining our school.聽 At the end of their visit they notified us that we were reaccredited.聽 But just saying that we received our reaccreditation does not tell the story.聽 To say that they were 鈥渂lown away鈥 by their experience at 91猫先生 would be an understatement.聽 They said those exact words and even聽stated that 91猫先生 was one of the top schools they had ever visited.聽 They described our students as 鈥渃onfident both academically and spiritually.鈥澛 They noted that our teachers are 鈥渆ngaging鈥 and our students 鈥渓ove being at school.鈥澛 It was an incredibly encouraging and affirming few days.聽 It means a lot when someone from the outside looks in and likes what they see.
