Accreditation

The North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has renewed Powers Catholic's accreditation. This action was taken at the NCA's Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois in April.

Along with hosting periodic on-site evaluations by a visiting team of educators, each NCA school is accredited on the basis of an annual report on conditions in the school and on such supplementary information as the Commission on Schools requests. The continued accreditation means that the conditions for effective education exist in the school.

The North Central Association is the largest of the country's regional accrediting agencies. It is a voluntary coalition of over 9,000 schools and over 1,000 colleges and universities in the nineteen-state region of the central United States. The Association works with schools to improve the quality of education through a continuous process of accreditation and school improvement. NCA currently accredits 1,790 schools in Michigan.
