Accreditation: Excellence in Education Relies on High Standards

All education institutions share a fundamental common goal: to inspire and equip learners so that they succeed to their highest potential. The current, research-based standards acknowledge that commonality through one set of standards. They define the practices of a good education institution and provide the criteria for improvement efforts that will energetically and visibly grow learners, teachers, leaders, and organizations in any K–12 or postsecondary non-degree granting setting. Early learning and extended learning institutions, and state education agencies continue to have dedicated standards.

Another hallmark of a high-quality school is that it continually strives for improvement. Like the member institutions we serve, Cognia works to innovate and improve, by embarking on a research and development cycle that takes place at least every six years. Our 2022 standards, and the important concepts and key characteristics are the foundation for Cognia’s approach to continuous improvement—not just to accreditation. These are the elements that should guide every educational institution to ensure high-quality teaching and learning and overall organizational effectiveness.
