Accreditation Update

Accreditation Update

At the parent meeting in March of 2023, the school board announced that NBCS was beginning the process of school accreditation with the American Association of Christian Schools. A lot of work has been done since that time, and I want to give you an update on the status of our accreditation. Accreditation requires that we analyze the school based on 12 standards that are important to an educational institution. Each of those 12 standards has a list of indicators that we use to evaluate ourselves during a self-study. We are nearing the completion of the self-study, having written responses as required to each indicator in the 12 standards. There is at least one project related to curriculum that we as teachers will be completing in November. The climax for us will be hosting the accreditation team who will be visiting us February 19-21, 2025. They will be validating our self-study and proposing areas of improvement for us. Accreditation is not only about finding the areas where we excel; it is also an opportunity for us to identify areas where we can grow and improve. 

Would you please partner with us in prayer as we complete our self-study and host the accreditation team? Please pray that through our self-study we would be able to improve the education and discipleship of our students, and please pray that God would be glorified through all of this as we rely on Him.  

If you have questions about accreditation or would like to help us in some way during this exciting process, please let us know!
