New England Association of Schools and Colleges
Commission on Independent Schools (CIS)

Mission

We are dedicated to fostering educational excellence and institutional improvement in New England independent schools and to honoring their diversity. To this end, we shepherd each of our schools through a voluntary accreditation process that is structured around carefully considered standards, self-evaluation, peer review, and follow-up by the school.*
