ISACS Data Collection in DASL

ISACS requires schools to submit data each year through DASL, the NAIS data collection tool. ISACS has carefully selected a list of data points that will be useful in school planning. Entering data into DASL is free of charge for all ISACS member schools – no NAIS membership required!

Schools in Year 1 and Year 2 of the accreditation cycle in 2024-25 must enter the required data and generate the school data profile through DASL as they prepare for the upcoming self-study process and accreditation team visit.

Getting Started

• Make sure that the appropriate school personnel can log in and enter data in DASL. Typically, the head of school and chief financial officer have administrator privileges in DASL and can assign data entry access to others.
• You may enter data for 2024-25 and previous academic years in DASL. You will find helpful videos, instructions, and other supporting information in the DASL portal (requires login).
• Watch the 2024 ISACS video for an instructional overview of the process.
