Accreditation

Excelsior School

IS ACCREDITED BY

THE WESTERN ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

(WASC).

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of six regional associations, which accredit public and private schools, colleges, and universities in the United States. Regional accreditation began about 100 years ago and arose from a desire on the part of educational institutions to establish standards of quality.

Accreditation is a voluntary, non-governmental process, which plays an important role in developing and maintaining the high quality of education in this country.

Accreditation certifies to other institutions and the general public that education programs meet established standards. High school accreditation is established through a partnership between WASC and the California Department of Education (CDE). This ensures that diploma-granting high schools meet the standards of WASC and the CDE Program Quality Review required by the California State Education Code.

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is the most prestigious and widely accepted accrediting body for schools in California. The accreditation process ensures that academic standards are high and the school is focused on continuously improving the learning of their students.

WASC accreditation validates the excellent work of our parents and staff – Excelsior School is a place where students learn and grow in an environment of their choosing supported by a personalized curriculum tailored to their specific needs and learning style.
