Accreditation
In April 2022, Quality Schools International and all existing QSI schools achieved accreditation as a school system through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA)! Working toward the Achieving Excellence System-Wide accreditation encouraged QSI to reflect on where we are now and where we want to be in 5-7 years. QSI and our schools will maintain our accreditation through a continual process of identifying areas for growth and implementing community-supported action plans to achieve the growth targets. You can find our four primary objectives and action plans below. You can also find our self-study and our Official Notice of Accreditation.
In summer 2022, we opened two new schools: QSI International School of Guyana and QSI International School of Togo. Each new school we open will begin the process of becoming accredited after a few years of operation.
If you have any questions about accreditation, or if you would like to be involved in QSI's improvement planning, please contact: accreditation@qsi.org
