NEASC Re-Accreditation Family Survey

As you may know, Saint Joseph School recently started the accreditation process with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). This professional body works with schools to promote best practices in private education, practices that ensure school improvement, and long-term sustainability. As a part of the self-study, conducted by the school as a part of the accreditation process, we are called to reflect on our practices and identify areas for improvement. The survey below is an opportunity for our parent community to participate in this self-reflection process. All results are sent directly to the school to help guide the ongoing conversations.
