Accreditation for Growth
"Touching the minds that touch the world"
Mission Statement
"AFG involves key people in creating a vision of the future,
rather than letting the future happen to the school."
Accreditation for Growth (AFG) is a process developed by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools to evaluate school programs, facilities and growth in student performance.
The Strategic Planning Team (SPT) is composed to key members that oversee the entire AFG process and meet monthly to ensure continuous momentum toward our objectives. Currently SPT is reviewing the twelve Middle States Association (MSA) Standards which are criteria used to evaluate our successes and highlight our needs. The following are the twelve standards.
| 1. Philosophy, Mission Beliefs, and/or Objectives | 7. Student Life and Student Activities |
| 2. Governance and Leadership | 8. Facilities |
| 3. Organizational Design and Staff | 9. Health and Safety |
| 4. Educational Programs | 10. Finances |
| 5. Learning Media Services and Technology | 11. Assessment of Student Learning |
| 6. Student Services | 12. Planning |
