All
DoDDS schools are accredited by the NCA, the largest
school-accrediting agency in the United States. The
North Central Association accredits over 9,000 public
and private schools in 19 states and the Department of
Defense Dependents Schools overseas.

The Requirements of NCA
Accredited Schools
Accreditation from a stateside agency means that our
schools engage in a review by a third party,
non-governmental association. This review takes place
every five years with an on-site visit and through
annual reporting by the school. Our schools always
strive for continuous improvement. The schools must work
to meet standards of high quality by:
·
Defining appropriate educational goals and providing
educational programs to achieve them
· Maintaining a qualified faculty and an effective
school organization
· Regularly assessing the quality of the educational
program
· Responding to concerns of parents and needs of the
local community
· Providing for continuity of quality programs
· Describing with accuracy the content of its services
and programs
· Documenting continual educational growth for its
students through the school improvement process.
Official accreditation is just one more way that DoDDS
works to provide a high quality education that is
comparable to that found in stateside schools. By
meeting and exceeding requirements set forth by NCA, our
schools are regularly working to improve the educational
achievement of all students.
School Improvement Leadership Committees at the school
level prepare for these visits. During the accreditation
visit, stateside NCA members interview students,
teachers, and parents.
