Mansfield Christian School is accredited by both ACSI (The Assoc. of Christian Schools International) and AdvancEd (a nationwide school accrediting agency). These organizations are charged by the state of Ohio to ensure that MCS is meeting all of the school operational standards. The Christian school operating standards for ACSI exceed the minimum standards for public schools, so accreditation from ACSI ensures approval from the state of Ohio.
ACSI will be sending a team of professional educators to MCS on October 25-28. This team will inspect every facet of our school, such as: governance and leadership, faculty and staff, mission, resources, improvement plans, and assessment measures. They will observe students and teachers, and conduct multiple interviews with parents, students, faculty, staff, and board members.
Both Dr. Smith and Mrs. Hoeflich have served on such ACSI teams in the past, so both are familiar with the process and the expectations. In fact, Dr. Smith also serves on the ACSI Regional Accreditation Commission for our region and it is their task to review all school visit data and determine the final status of applying schools.
Please be in prayer for this time. Pray for both the ACSI team and our school personnel - pray that God will use this time to grow our school to become all the He desire for us. These experiences are a good deal of work and we have spent countless hours in preparation for this visit. However, they are designed to make us better and keep us pointed in the direction of our mission and vision.
