Accreditation and Reputation
WASC (WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES) ACCREDITED
Accreditation is a voluntary process which ensures schools provide high-quality learning opportunities and clearly demonstrate continual self-improvement. An accredited school is based on meeting specific criteria set forth by the Accrediting Commission for Schools.
Since 2009, CMASAS (Christa McAuliffe Academy School of Arts and Sciences) has been accredited by the NWAC and switched to Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) starting in 2020. CMASAS has continually met the following standards as a school:
- Focusing on student learner goals and school mission.
- Fostering a student-oriented environment with continual assessment of student performance and academic standards.
- Maintaining a qualified faculty within an effectively organized school.
- Collaboratively assessing the quality of its educational programs on a regular basis.
- Planning for the future.
