Our Mission

 

"The mission of the Northwest Accreditation Commission is to advance excellence in education through the process of accreditation." Accreditation promotes continual school improvement leading to greater student achievement.

 

The Northwest Accreditation Commission, formerly the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools accredits distance education, elementary, foreign nation, high, K 12, middle level, post secondary nondegree granting, residential, special purpose, supplementary education, and travel education schools.

The Northwest Accreditation Commission is one of the nation's six acknowledged accreditation agencies. The geographic territory of the Association consists of the states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington, and other worldwide geographical areas designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees.
