WASC认证的难度极高，学校需要经过长达数年的自我评估、实地考察、持续改进等多轮审核，才能最终获得认证。截至目前，国内仅有少数顶尖学校能够通过这一认证，而西亚斯外籍学校作为河南省唯一一所通过WASC认证的学校，无疑是对我们办学实力的最高认可！
It requires the school to go through several rounds of evaluation including self-evaluation, school visits and continuous improvement to finally gain WASC accreditation, which can take years and require a lot of hard work. Until now, only several top schools in China are accredited. Sias IS, being the only WASC school in Henan, confirms our commitment to delivering rigorous, high-quality learning experiences to students.
