CIS, MSA and IB Accreditation updates

AISL is proud to be accredited by Council of Independent Schools (CIS), Middle States Association (MSA), and the International Baccalaureate (IB). Every five years we seek re-accreditation with these agencies to ensure that we continue to meet their educational standards. In March 2020 we completed our Preparatory Visit and are now in the Team Evaluation stage of re-accreditation. This stage is known as the 'self study' as different members of a school's community review, rate and report on their compliance to standards. 

The faculty, staff and teachers have been working to create reports in each of the domain sections for CIS/MSA including such groups as; purpose and direction, facilities, staffing, teaching and learning, just to name a few. Additionally, we have another layer of standards that need to be met for the IB. As part of IB accreditation process we have been refocusing our efforts with the Approaches to Learning.

Before April these different committees will complete their reports and submit their findings to the accreditation organisations for early feedback. In March 2022 accreditation teams will visit AISL to confirm compliance in all the different areas. We are grateful for the many parents, board members, students, faculty, and staff that are playing an active role in this process.
