For most ISACS schools, the accreditation cycle takes place over a seven year period with the completion of specific activities in each year. The accreditation process is based upon two fundamental principles:
- full and complete written disclosure of a school's strengths, weaknesses, and future plans and priorities, and
- an on-site visit by a team of ISACS teachers and administrators looking for congruence during their three and one-half day observation.
In the years following the site visit, certain follow-up reports and activities provide ISACS with evidence of the school's accountability for the recommendations made at the time of the visit.
Each year's specific activities and requirements are cited in the sections that follow. For a complete written description of the accreditation process see the ISACS Accreditation Guide under Links & Resources.
