Re-Accreditation of Immanuel Lutheran School Begins Next Week
National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) has served as the accrediting body for Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod schools across the United States and the world since 1978.
In order to become accredited [or re-accredited] in good standing with NLSA, a school must comply fully with 30 required indicators of success in the areas of Purpose, Relationships, Governance, Professional Personnel, Student Services, Teaching and Learning, and Facilities. Our school's faculty, administration, and volunteers have completed an evaluation document using a variety of general indicators to quantify how we comply with standards in each accreditation area.
Next Monday and Tuesday, an NLSA visiting team will be onsite to validate that the information prepared by the school accurately reflects the actual conditions present at the school. During this visit, the team will examine evidence, interview school stakeholders, visits classroom, and observe overall school practices.
