Standards

Membership Standards
These are the initial requirements for schools seeking accreditation.  When  a prospective  school makes application, it must comply with these standards.

Improvement Standards
Member schools must be committed to ongoing pursuit of standards which provide the framework for ongoing self-evaluation and improvement.  Member schools would not be expected to meet all of the improvement standards, but would be expected to be striving to reach these standards which are closely identified with schools of excellence.  The school's Plan for Improvement should reflect steps to achieve these standards.
The Missouri Nonpublic School Accrediting Association is affiliated with the National Federation of Nonpublic School State Accrediting Associations, which is recognized by the United States Office of Education and CASE (Council for the Advancement and Support of Education).  The Missouri Nonpublic School Accrediting Association is approved for purposes of teacher certification by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
