Since 1995 NJAIS has been providing member schools the option of receiving accreditation through the evaluation process of the Association. The NJAIS Accreditation Committee provides oversight to the process and makes decisions on granting accreditation to schools who have completed the necessary steps to gain approval. Accreditation required for NJAIS membership may be achieved through NJAIS, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, or a joint NJAIS-MSA effort.

Schools wishing to use the NJAIS accreditation process should contact the Executive Director at least two years before the expiration of the present certificate of accreditation. A year of self-study is required using an instrument approved by NJAIS. The culmination of the self-study is a three day visit by a committee of educators from other member schools, headed by a Chairperson selected by the Director in consultation with the Head of the school seeking accreditation.
