SCL employs a principled rather than prescriptive approach. To provide a clear guide and measure for schools, SCL's eight standards and ten accompanying indicators capture the essence of a thriving classical Christian school. We work together with schools before, during, and after the visit to evaluate these principles within the context of your school. Our goal is to put schools on the path to thriving—helping them fulfill their mission to their families and communities.
Much like a portrait of a graduate, the SCL standards and indicators are idealistic. While each candidate school is assessed against the SCL standards and indicators to foster improvement, our accreditation team is there to observe and offer feedback, not to shame or make schools jump through arbitrary hoops, reductionistic lists, or tedious prescribed changes. Structuring accreditation in this way allows the team to spend time focused on targeting aspirational areas for improvement.
Shortly after the visit, you will receive a comprehensive PATHWAY to Thriving Report with our findings regarding each of the eight standards through the lens of all 80 indicators. The report is lengthy (25-30 pages), including both qualitative and quantitative data that highlights areas of strength and identifies key areas for growth. Additionally, a list of recommended resources is included.
Hospitality, a core value of SCL, is interwoven throughout the accreditation process. We work with schools, not merely to assess, but to support and resource them as they seek improvement. Our process requires high levels of active engagement from each school's executive leadership team, both during the assessment process and in executing the improvement. At the same time, SCL is here to support the school's leadership team before, during, and after the visit. Accreditation does not need to be a miserable experience.
