Middle States Accreditation Information

An important message from our Chief Academic Officer:

Dr, Dianne G.  Brown, Ed.D.

As you may be aware, National Prep will undergo a site-visit from November 4 through November 7, 2014 to determine if our school meets the criteria for Middle States Accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Accreditation is an improvement process and an accountability system. It uses twelve internationally recognized standards and requires an institution to compare itself through a comprehensive self-study (Designing our Future) and submit to a rigorous peer review process. 

Accreditation:

• Encourages and facilitates continuous growth and improvement by providing an organizational structure for defining a preferred future

• Generates the details and data necessary for making informed decisions and developing sustainable plans for growth and improvement by managing the improvement process through regular assessment, planning, implementation, and reassessment

• Provides a means for greater accountability by ensuring to the public the integrity of our programs and outcomes.

If you would like to participate in the parent component of this process, please contact Ms. Shay King, Internal Coordinator, at 202-832-7737.
