What does it mean to be NCA CASI accredited?

It means your school has joined a voluntary association that strives for excellence and continuous improvement and the school:
  • Defines appropriate educational goals and providing educational programs to achieve them.
  • Maintains a qualified faculty and an effective school organization.
  • Regularly assess the quality of the educational program.
  • Responds to concerns of parents and needs of the school community.
  • Provides for the continuity of quality programs.
  • Describes with accuracy the content of its services and programs.
  • Documents continual educational growth for its students.
Benefits of NCA CASI?
Some of the numerous advantages to NCA CASI membership include:
  • NCA CASI membership is a voluntary demonstration of commitment to developing and maintaining a quality education environment.
  • Membership in NCA CASI at any level, or in any type of school, encourages both vertical and horizontal articulation in both local and intra-district situations.
  • Membership gives the entire school staff and community an opportunity to examine current instructional practices and to assess the adequacy of the curriculum.
  • Every school and or district needs a school improvement plan in place and functioning. As a condition of accreditation, a school is required to develop and implement a plan to improve those conditions in the school that are judged ineffective.
