Accreditation

Accreditation offers a framework of quality for schools to measure student performance and assess progress toward defined goals. It offers a uniform criterion for schools to evaluate themselves and undertake meaningful, continuous improvement in a performance - based system.

Accreditation is an assurance to parents and community members that their school is actively engaged in a systematic, vigorous process of improvement. It expands the definition of a successful school beyond standardized test scores.

Holy Family received a full six-year term of accreditation from the NASCU. The visiting team determined that there was a high correlation between who we said we were in print and what was evident when they made a three-day visit to the school in the spring of 2001. Each year we revisit our improvement plan goals as an opportunity to continue our self-evaluation. Listed below you will find our goals and what to date we have put in place to continue to achieve our student learning expectations.

1. Reduce student-adult ratio to improve students learning for all children.
2. Expand faculty to include a math specialist to support student learning.
3. Increased use of integration in all subjects across the curriculum.

In conclusion, reviewing our accreditation goals ensure that we continue to improve as a school community as we seek to inspire, educate and prepare students for a Christ-centered life of learning, faith and service.
