MSCES (and its predecessor, the
Assembly of Elementary Schools) has provided accreditation protocols
to schools since 1978. Many protocols have been developed since the
early days of MSCES, but all rely on the concepts of peer evaluation
and self-regulation to provide continuous school improvement.
The Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools (MSA) was established in 1887 and is a
non-governmental, non-profit, peer-administered organization. MSA
provides leadership in school improvement for its member schools in
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, the District
of Columbia, the U.S. Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, the
subcontinent of Asia, and Africa.
As part of the accreditation
process, the following areas were evaluated according to established
standards:
1. Philosophy, Mission, Beliefs, and/or Objectives
2. Governance and Leadership
3. Organizational Design and Staff
4. Educational Programs
5. Learning Media Services and Technology
