Visiting teams are composed of faculty and administrators from ISACS accredited member schools. Team members are recommended by their head of school for such service, based upon skills and knowledge, interest, and writing ability. Then, depending upon the needs of each individual team, members are invited to serve by ISACS from a database pool of about 2500 volunteers. Service is voluntary and done with the understanding that by helping another school in the accreditation process, such service will be reciprocated when the time comes for one’s own school to be accredited.

In this section one can find more specific information about what is involved in serving on a visiting team.
