Special Guests Coming for Accreditation

Tuesday - Thursday, March 28 - 30

OLG has been an accredited school with the MN Non-Public Schools Accrediting Association (MNSAA) since 1988. Every seven years we do an intensive self-study, conduct an extensive satisfaction survey (last school year), and gather evidence in support of benchmarks that make us a quality school. We take our findings and craft a strategic plan that will guide our actions for the next 7 years. Upon the completion of this self-reflection, an accreditation team comes to visit. On March 28-30, we will host onsite a team of 8 education professionals who represent MNSAA. The team is made up of teachers and principals from various MNSAA accredited schools, and they will be here to support us in the re-accreditation process. While onsite, the team will review our self-study, interview staff, and visit with students and committee members. They will review our latest school strategic plan and offer both suggestions and recommendations. The team will also seek parent feedback so you may receive a phone call or perhaps an onsite impromptu "interview" if they run into you at the school. They will likely ask what the greatest strengths and challenges are for OLG and what your overall satisfaction or experience is here. Please take the opportunity to visit with them and share your experience with the school.
