ACCREDITATION REVIEW COMMITTEE

The Accreditation Review Committee (ARC) is a standing committee appointed by the ISACS Board of Trustees. Among other responsibilities, the ARC reviews all accreditation reports and recommends action to the Board of Trustees. ARC members are typically school heads and other administrators with extensive accreditation experience.

It is the purpose of the ARC to review all accreditation program procedures periodically and, more specifically, to review all accreditation reports (visiting team, reaction, progress, and provisional reports) on behalf of the board of trustees. The Accreditation Review Committee may accept or modify the recommendation for accreditation submitted by the visiting team and reports this to the board of trustees. In the case of an adverse recommendation (for accreditation), the school will be notified and will be given an opportunity to appeal, if it chooses, before final action by the board.

In short the ARC:

• Interprets and applies the standards of the Association, reviews all accreditation reports and recommends action to the Board of Trustees. 
• Reviews all new applications for affiliation with ISACS and recommends action upon such applications to the Board of Trustees. 
• Periodically reviews the standards of membership and makes recommendations for additions, deletions, and changes to the Board of Trustees.
