NCA Accredited
3/11/2010, Lynn Tolley
Over the past year, Tree of Life has achieved a second national accreditation through the North Central Association and AdvancEd, which accredits public and private schools across the United States. NCA provides nationally-recognized accreditation, the purpose of which is continuous school improvement focused on increasing student performance. To earn accreditation, schools must meet the national high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school, and implement a continuous process of school improvement. Dr. Mark Elgart, President/CEO of the organization stated, “NCA CASI Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school on the primary goal of creating lifelong learners. Tree of Life Christian School is to be commended for engaging in this process and demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement.” Tree of Life is now chartered by the state of Ohio, accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and accredited by the North Central Association. You can learn more about this new accreditation at www.advanc-ed.org.
