Middle State Accreditation Planning Process

Middle States Accreditation
-
Middle States Accreditation or MSA is a process that validates your school’s adherence to national and international academic and operational standards. This process has the following benefits for your school's profile. Accreditation provides a continuous improvement cycle for your administration, faculty, students, parents and community. The process also provides a school accountability model and it fosters stakeholder involvement. Accreditation is driven by multiple measures of effectiveness and the process helps to build positive public relations.
On behalf of the entire Little Flower Community, we are excited to announce that our school is going through the process of re-accreditation from The Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools (MSCESS), the premier American regional accreditation agency. The Middle States Commission is the leader in ensuring that all students in its region receive the highest quality of education and advancement. Through its accreditation and school improvement services, MSCSS recognizes excellence in educational quality, planning, and growth in order to improve student outcomes and mastery of rigorous standards. Little Flower is proud to go through this process of re-accreditation and see this as a time for reflection and renewal as we continue to live out the mission and ministry of Saint Therese in everything that we do. There are many ways in which we want you to be part of the process-to receive your constructive feedback and relate your personal experiences to us so we can continue to support our students as they live out their God-given potential.

Letters and Surveys

Little Flower Catholic High School for Girls is going through the re-accreditation process for our Middle StatesAccreditation. This happens every seven years with a three year mid-point review. Little Flower offers its students an exceptional education with a wide range of courses and opportunities. Through this process of self-study, we have this extraordinary opportunity to reflect and renew the mission and ministry of Saint Therese for the betterment of our whole community: faculty, staff, students, parent/guardians, alumnae, and community partners. Everything we do has to go back to our main focus: we are all servant leaders who are fulfilling our God given potential to do great things-to leave Little Flower as better people so we can spread God's message.
Our response count for the Middle States survey was 249 students and 153 adults. Each group had their own survey. Based on these survey results and other key data from Achievement and Renaissance, Little Flower is developing one student performance objective, one faith based objective, and one organizational capacity objective to submit for technical review. From there, each objective will have an action plan with strategies and checkpoints to achieve those goals.
The Planning Team for Middle States meets twice a month and we hold parent/guardian workshops every month as well. All of these dates are on the calendar for your review.
