Does a school have to be WASC-accredited to establish an “a-g” course list?
At their December 2002 meeting, the Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools (BOARS) established a policy that requires both public and private schools to be either WASC candidates or WASC accredited in order to establish a course list. It is advised that new schools begin the process for WASC accreditation as early as feasible. To file for “candidacy status” for accreditation with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), contact Christine Lunny or Marsha Carroll at (650) 696-1060.
