Overview of the NEASC Accreditation Process
The New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) Accreditation process is a 10-year cycle intended to serve as a guide for schools, districts, centers, and programs (hereafter collectively referred to as “schools”) to meet their own goals for student learning based on alignment with research-based Standards for Accreditation. Secondarily, it serves as an important exercise for assessing the systems in place for ongoing self-reflection and the ability to be an effective learning organization.
The accreditation process for Hopedale Jr.-Sr. High School is organized and overseen by the NEASC Steering Committee, which is composed of faculty and administrators. Having completed its self-reflection study and Collaborative Conference Visit in March 2024, the school is now preparing for its Decennial Accreditation Visit in March 2026 by focusing on implementing recommended improvements, gathering evidence of growth, and engaging in self-reflection to demonstrate its commitment to excellence in education.
For questions about the NEASC Accreditation, please contact the Steering Committee Chairs, Anthony Beaudry (abeaudry@hopedaleschools.org) and/or Brian Kiesman (bkiesman@hopedaleschools.org).
