SJA Accreditation Information

Why we need your help

I wanted to continue to provide information on Accreditation for SJA.

One important clarifying note is that accreditation can occur in several formats. The model we utilize through Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS) is the School Improvement Model. The central theme we focus on is improvement with the opportunity to identify areas for continual growth in our Archdiocesan schools. There is no choice in who we accredit with or which model to use.

This is not really an issue, as accreditation is only a plus for our schools and serves us by continual self-evaluation on-site.

I am proud to be part of a system that is constantly look for areas of improvement and also one that willingly includes ALL stakeholders: parents, students, faculty and parishioners.

Please join us this year on the committees listed in the previous post, We welcome all your support!

God Bless,

Machelle Nagel
