The Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is one of the six regional accrediting agencies in the United States and one of America’s most trusted regional education accreditation bodies. It works closely with the Office of Overseas Schools under the U.S. Department of State.
WASC supports schools in more than 100 countries and regions worldwide, covering California, Hawaii, Guam, Asia, the Pacific Region, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. It is renowned for its rigorous evaluation criteria, comprehensive multi-dimensional review, and ongoing quality monitoring.
WASC accreditation represents full recognition of a school’s educational quality, curriculum framework, academic management, and student support systems. It also serves as an authoritative endorsement to global parents and universities, confirming that the school continuously upholds the highest international standards to deliver sustainable, high-quality education.
