Grow alongside schools who share your commitment to excellence.
SAIS accreditation is a collaborative, mission-driven process designed specifically for independent schools. We partner with schools to drive strategic growth, reaffirm stakeholder trust, and foster a culture of continuous improvement, all while honoring what makes your school uniquely yours.
Whether you’re exploring accreditation for the first time or you’re deep in your re-accreditation cycle, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
How it Works
How does SAIS accreditation work?
The SAIS accreditation process is built on three core components that work together to help your school grow.
Current member schools
The accreditation portal is your central hub for completing and submitting all accreditation materials.

“The strategic potential embedded in the accreditation process is unparalleled in its power to refocus and refresh a school’s vision. I enjoy meeting and serving with others. Some of the best friendships I have been blessed with have come through accreditation work.”
