Western Association of Schools and Colleges

Last week, QISS had the pleasure of hosting the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation team, one of the six major educational groups acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Education. WASC is a non-profit and non-governmental accrediting organization, and achieving their accreditation is considered equivalent to receiving an "Oscar in Education." The application requirements for WASC accreditation are complex, and the accreditation and reaccreditation procedures involve a thorough and in-depth evaluation of the school. Elements of the reaccreditation process include the submission of a self-study report about our organization, as well as an evaluation of our school, curriculum, funding allocation, staffing, and resources. Guided by the WASC accreditation requirements for overall school improvement, the school has continuously made progress in aligning all that our organization does with QISS school values, mission, and vision.

上周，QISS迎來了新一階段WASC(Western Association of Schools and Colleges) 認證的權威團隊。 WASC 即美國西部院校協會，作為受美國教育部認可的非盈利和非政府組織的六大教育聯盟之一，被稱為“教育界奧斯卡”。WASC認證的申請門檻和難度較高，從申請條件來看，WASC對申請學校做出了包括規劃、組織、課程、評價、資金、人員等全方位要求。在WASC對學校整體改進的指導下，學校取得了持續性的發展，我們所做的一切與QISS的價值觀、使命和愿景相一致。

Following a week-long reaccreditation process, the WASC team shared their impressions of our school. They had so many positive things to say about our organisation, staff and students. They also expressed their enthusiasm about the time they spent with us. It"s safe to say that the QISS Sharks are doing an exceptional job of exemplifying our school values, preparing themselves to be life ready leaders and leading with a mindful heart.

經過此次為期一周對學校全方位深入的檢查和評估后，WASC認證小組介紹了他們對QISS產生的印象。可以說，QISS"鯊魚們 "做得非常好，展示了我校的價值觀—成為生活的領導者，用心以愛領導自己。
