Middle States Reaccreditation Process 2019

Every seven years, St. John’s College High School undergoes a reaccreditation process for the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Our most recent reaccreditation cycle, which will conclude with an official visit from the Middle States Association in November 2019, has provided the St. John’s community with the opportunity to reflect on recent growth and identify areas for future improvement. Through surveys of the community, in-depth discussions and student and parent focus groups, we have distinguished four areas of focus:

  • Improved academic performance in the areas of English and math
  • Cross-disciplinary curriculum development
  • Improved safety, security and health measures
  • Professional development targeting adolescent development

St. John’s Middle States reaccreditation is led by Dr. Anna Garland, dean of academic services, and Selma Solera, math faculty.
