Accreditation

page_accreditationOur school is accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA). In 2013 we received the highest accreditation for 2013 through 2020. Click here to see the 2013 WCEA/WASC “Report of Findings”. The review of the school by these organizations assures that our education program maintains high standards and is continuously improving.   We must apply for reaffirmation of our accreditations every few years, depending upon our most recent evaluation.

The new 2020 WASC/WCEA Self-Study, “Improving Student Learning” as well as the earlier 2014 Self Study are provided below:

  • 2020 WASC/WCEA Self-Study, “Improving Student Learning” – Final Draft (PDF)
