The Ross School recently announced it has earned accreditation from the New York State Association of Independent Schools and reaccreditation from the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools.

In a news release, school administrators said the recognition “provides external validation of an accredited school’s accomplishments in specific areas of expertise and enables schools to take accreditation to the next level.”

In both instances, the accreditation was the culmination of initial self-review and then comprehensive external review and on-site visits. Accreditation was based on many criteria, including curriculum, student life and activities, health and safety, school organization, faculty and leadership, and facilities.

The Middle States Association also recognized the Ross School as a “program of distinction in global literacies,” which is an updated version of the Middle States Association’s previous “international credential,” which Ross first received in 2005.
