What is NEASC, and what does “accreditation” mean?
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges is the regional accreditation agency for schools and colleges. Its most important role is to accredit schools. As part of this accrediting process, the Association determines that schools are operating in accordance with the NEASC standards for accreditation. When this determination is made, typically after a thorough self-study and a three day visit by an outside team, a school is said to be “accredited”. The planning of Windham High School is proceeding in accordance with the NEASC standards of accreditation.
