Today we learned that CAIS-the California Association of Independent Schools--awarded its accreditation to Kadima This award, along with Kadima's WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation, puts Kadima along side all of the top independent schools in nation.
Throughout the entire search process, the Committee has been receiving guidance produced by NAIS, which is the national version of CAIS. NAIS has its pulse on the independent school world, and promotes best practices. We've received a variety of data regarding economic issues and other important management topics from NAIS. While there are other management consultants focusing on independent schools--such as Independent School Management--NAIS offers the broadest, clearest, simplest, and most realistic advice. Certainly, from a Head of School search perspective, following the NAIS approach--which we are doing at Kadima--immediately offers a level of professionalism and confidence to potential applicants.
Most importantly, however, the accreditation also means that WASC and CAIS--both independent agencies--have certified that Kadima is delivering the type of educational results it is promising. It is a "seal of approval" by the two most important accrediting agencies in the United States.
Good news for Kadima.
