ACCREDITATION STATEMENT

 

Martha's Vineyard Regional High School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non-govern­mental, nationally recognized organiza­tion whose affil­iated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate insti­tutions offering post-graduate instruction.

 

Accreditation of an institution by the New England Associa­tion indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assess­ment of institu­tional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accred­ited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational pro­grams, in substan­tial­ly doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institu­tional integrity is also addressed through accredita­tion.

 

Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individu­al graduates. Rath­er, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution.

 

Inquiries regarding the status of an instituti­on's accredi­tation by the New England Associ­a­tion should be directed to the adminis­trative staff of the school or college. Individuals may also contact the Association:
