The Keystone School announced today the renewal of its Cognia®
Accreditation, marking 25 years since the initial achievement of
this distinction in 1998. The Keystone School’s accreditation is
granted by Cognia™, a nonprofit improvement organization that
provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and
education service providers.
“It is a privilege to recognize The Keystone School as we reach
this milestone. School accreditation as conferred by the Cognia
Global Accreditation Commission provides a nationally recognized
mark of quality for our school,” shared Erica Rhone, Executive
Director. “Being able to maintain this distinction for 25 years
demonstrates to our community our commitment to excellence, our
openness to review and feedback, and our desire to be the best we
can be on behalf of the students we serve.”
Throughout its more than 125 years of service, Cognia, formerly
AdvancED, has globally recognized schools that meet rigorous
standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable
resource allocation for the needs of learners, and effective
leadership. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global
Accreditation Commission is a recognition that the school meets
Cognia Performance Standards and maintains a commitment to
continuous improvement. To earn Cognia accreditation, a school also
must implement a continuous process of improvement and submit to
external review. Schools in good standing can maintain their
accreditation for a six-year term.
Dr. Mark A. Elgart, president and CEO of Cognia, stated, “Cognia
Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school
and its community on the primary goal of preparing lifelong
learners in engaging environments where all students can flourish.
The Keystone School has demonstrated that it has continually met
high standards and made progress on key indicators that impact
student learning. Maintaining their accredited status for 25 years
highlights a commitment to the quality and improvement of the
education provided.”
Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central
Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA
CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and
School Improvement (SACS CASI). Parents and interested community
