Accreditation & Educational Excellence
 
At St. Margaret Mary Alacoque School, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic quality, faith formation, and institutional growth. Our school is fully accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA).
 
Dual accreditation represents a mark of quality and distinction, verifying that our educational programs, facility management, and spiritual development meet rigorous standards established by regional and national educational leaders.

What WASC & WCEA Accreditation Means for Prospective Families

For parents, choosing an accredited school offers peace of mind and confidence in your child’s educational journey.

  • Verified Educational Quality: Accreditation ensures that our curriculum, teaching methods, and classroom resources meet rigorous standards, delivering a challenging and comprehensive TK–8 academic program.

  • Authentic Catholic Identity: Through WCEA accreditation, our school community is regularly evaluated on how effectively we integrate Catholic values, religious instruction, and gospel teachings into daily student life.

  • A Culture of Continuous Improvement: Accreditation is an ongoing multi-year cycle, not a one-time stamp. We participate in thorough self-studies and external peer reviews to constantly assess student achievement and refine our programs.

  • Seamless High School Transitions: Attending a WASC-accredited elementary school ensures that our curriculum aligns with regional standards, preparing graduates for a smooth transition into top Catholic, private, and public high schools.

  • Accountability & Whole-Child Focus: Accreditation holds our administration and faculty accountable to high standards across every area of school life—from academic excellence and safety to co-curricular activities and spiritual growth.

By grounding our educational philosophy in continuous growth, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque School ensures that your child receives an exceptional, Christ-centered education designed for lifelong success.
