WASC - On January 22nd through Jan 24th, we have our formal WASC visit....The Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC) is a renowned accrediting association in the United States, collaborating closely with the Office of Overseas Schools under the U.S. Department of State. ACS WASC extends its services globally, assisting over 5,200 pre-K–12 and adult schools, particularly in regions like California, Hawaii, Guam, Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Collaborating with various organizations, including the California Department of Education (CDE), ACS WASC aligns the accreditation process with planning requirements for California public schools, promoting continuous improvement through the ACS WASC/CDE Focus on Learning (FOL) Joint Process Guide. The Commission, composed of 35 representatives from educational organizations, upholds a mission to validate ongoing school improvement, emphasizing equity, inclusion, and access to high-level learning opportunities for all students.
