The visit allows CIAA to clarify the accreditation process to the school community, and prepare the school for the Self-study stage.

CIAA EVALUATION

Self-Study Process

The self-study process is the most important part of the whole evaluation and accreditation cycle, both in terms of time and effort and in the value for your school. While identifying and validating your school’s strengths, this process also identifies areas for improvement and initiates actions to address them. A self-study normally takes between 3-6 months to complete.

CIAA VISIT

Team Evaluation

After submitting the self-study report, a team of peer evaluators will visit your school to provide an objective evaluation of the conclusions in your report. The evaluation team is composed of CIAA trained educators from across the world. This team visits your school for three days, observing all types of learning situations and meeting with students, parents, faculty/staff and members of the school’s leadership, governance and ownership groups. The evaluation team analyses all aspects of your school considering your self-study report, your own guiding statements, and the CIAA school evaluation standards.

To enable CIAA to support and monitor continuous school improvement, accredited schools provide an annual accreditation report which provides an update on school improvement practices and substantive developments.
