Accreditation

Mid-Pacific is accredited jointly by the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS) and the Accrediting Commission for Schools of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).  Independent schools undergo this accreditation process as a method of evaluating strengths, identifying areas of weakness, and developing plans of action. This process is vital to the continuing development of any school. We have started our accreditation at Mid-Pacific, and you will soon be asked to participate, most likely in the form of a survey (or several). I encourage you to share your feedback. It is very important.

But that’s not why I’m writing about this. I am telling you about accreditation because I was asked to serve on a visiting committee for Hawaii Preparatory Academy on Hawaii Island. The final piece of accreditation is a review of all documentation and a visit from a committee of administrators and educators from Hawaii and the West Coast. That is what I will be doing at HPA this coming week. I will be on Hawaii Island from Sunday morning until Wednesday evening. I am looking forward to an intense few days of learning and writing. I’ll be back in school Thursday.
