WASC

A quick refresher about WASC. AISG has been accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since 1987. WASC accreditation is an external quality assurance process that AISG uses to monitor student learning and set goals for school improvement. Throughout the accreditation cycle, schools address their schoolwide action plans, demonstrate that they provide high-quality learning, and practice continual self-improvement. AISG is currently in Year Three of the accreditation cycle.

Summary

As this report shows, the AISG community has a lot to be proud of! We are grateful to have this outside lens on our school to see where we can continue to grow and learn. And we are pleased that our continued progress is evident and that our continued growth and goals have aided in the betterment of our school and community. The Visiting Committee specifically complimented AISG on our ongoing support of our faculty, students, and families throughout the pandemic, our unwavering support that our community has for each other, and how we have built and sustained a strong sense of community that honors, nurtures, and respects a diverse community of learners.  As the Visiting Committee stated,

From our volunteer board members, to our leadership, to our dedicated faculty, to our supportive parents, to our hard-working students, there is a sense of connection and community. We all work together to continually improve AISG - to make it the best that it can be.
