Importance and Benefits of Accreditation

The thorough and rigorous process of accreditation administered by NJAIS is important to independent schools for three primary reasons. 

Benefits of NJAIS Accreditation Include:

The process fosters a continuous, collaborative approach to school improvement, providing multiple benefits. It offers school leaders and governing boards independent validation of existing programs and services, coupled with strategic recommendations for enhancement. By scrutinizing the educational program, the process directly impacts student learning and growth. Additionally, it offers experienced educators the opportunity to learn from best practices at other schools through peer review involvement. For school boards, it provides independent assurance of a high-quality educational experience for students. The process also bolsters the school's reputation among current and prospective parents, as well as the broader community. It serves as a valuable credential for fundraising and international student enrollment, simplifies admissions and transfers, and positions school leaders for strategic visioning. Finally, the self-study component enhances staff collaboration and a deeper understanding of the school as a whole.
