Accreditation
Columbia Christian Schools was first accredited kindergarten through twelfth grade in the spring of 2000. The accreditation was awarded by Northwest Association of Accredited Schools and Association of Christian Schools International. Accreditation benefits both the student and the school. In order to obtain accreditation many standards must be met. A self study is completed reviewing curriculum; media center; faculty and staff preparedness; transportation; finances; board of directors; facility; food services; and student activities. These areas are all reviewed by an outside accreditation team and recommendations are submitted.
Accreditation provides validity to our program of education. Students are readily accepted into colleges and universities. The school is capable of applying for grants and outside funding from private agencies. Additionally accreditation provides a more professional academic setting and program.
