ISACS Response Accepted, School Remains Fully Accredited

The Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) Accreditation Review Committee has reviewed and accepted NDPMA's "reaction report," or response to ISACS recommendations after last year's evaluation visit, and determined that the school continues to be a fully accredited member school in good standing.

Head of School Fr. Leon Olszamowski, s.m., thanked the school's ISACS steering committee and said it's another positive step in Notre Dame's re-accreditation process.

"The next step for us in this re-accreditation process is a progress report due to ISACS in two years," he said. "And we also will need to conduct an opinion audit for them during fiscal year 2013-14."

ISACS is a membership organization of more than 230 independent schools from 13 states in the U.S. Midwest region. Notre Dame has been ISACS-accredited since the school opened in 1994 and shares such accreditation with Cranbrook, Country Day, Grosse Pointe Academy and The Roeper School.
