IUHS Meets All 7 NCA Accreditation Standards

In announcing the renewal of Indiana University High School’s full accreditation status this summer, the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI) stated that the IUHS program meets or surpasses all seven of NCA CASI’s accreditation standards.

Those standards are

• Vision and Purpose
• Governance and Leadership
• Teaching and Learning
• Documenting and Using Results
• Resources and Support Systems
• Stakeholder Communications and Relationships
• Commitment to Continuous Improvement

“IUHS is honored to be recognized as a school that has met all of the standards,” said IUHS director, Bruce Colston. “We are eager to continue working with North Central—and its sister institutions in AdvancED—to ensure that IUHS students receive the highest-quality education we can provide.”

AdvancED is the umbrella organization for NCA CASI, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), and the Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA). NCA CASI, SACS CASI, and CITA schools share a unified, clear, and powerful accreditation process.

As part of that process, IUHS is required to set regular improvement goals, establish benchmarks to measure progress toward those goals, and analyze results. A “dashboard” listing IUHS improvement areas, as well as information on the school’s progress in meeting those goals, will be available on the IUHS Web site in the near future.
