Statement of Equity & Inclusion

Through accreditation and other services, the Association will require and support the work of each ISACS school to provide an equitable, affirming, safe, and just environment. 

Equity

• Promoting the health and well-being of all member schools and individuals in their communities, whatever their identity.
• Moving our schools and our association toward embracing difference while recognizing our commonalities and learning from each other.
• Promoting respect, the foundation of equity.

Integrity

• Measuring each school against its success in meeting its own mission.
• Serving members and making decisions in a manner that is fair, honest, ethical, trustworthy, and based in principle.
• Developing strategic direction and initiatives in a context of mindfulness of our purpose and “the whole.”

Continuous Improvement

• Providing a system of accreditation based in institutional selfreflection that facilitates a continuous process for schools to become “their best selves,” well aligned with good practice.
• Offering resources and services that help schools and individual educators learn and thrive.
• Using goal setting, data analysis, and reflection as an association to consider and direct our own work.
