AdvancED Continuous Improvement Checklist

4. Why does our school system go through the AdvancED accreditation process? How does it benefit us?
The accreditation process is for our benefit as a school system because it ensures that all schools are meeting high standards as designed through our Strategic Map and the school improvement process.
The accreditation gives us the tools, resources, and guidance we need, not to be just a “good enough” school system, but to assist our schools in continuing to improve by helping our students achieve academic growth and excellence.
