Accreditation Standards for Quality Schools NEW STANDARDS - Effective 2007-08 NCA CASI recently unified with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). Known as AdvancED, the unified organization serves 23,000 schools in 65 countries. Through AdvancED, NCA CASI and SACS CASI have defined shared, research-based accreditation standards that cross state, regional, and national boundaries. Accompanying these standards is a unified, clear and powerful accreditation process designed to help schools continuously improve. The unified standards and accreditation process will go into effect in 2007-08.
