WACS is responsible for the role and function of the Christian School Accreditation Institution for a balanced and high-quality Christian school education. Accreditation of Christian schools is a means by which WACS helps member schools to build stronger Christian schools. The application for accreditation is not an attempt to regulate member schools, so the application should be made voluntarily. Therefore, accreditation will provide for the operation of schools based on the Bible, curriculum management, and periodic evaluations (planning, implementing, monitoring, reevaluation, etc.) to improve academic performance. This provides and supports effective training programs to help member schools maintain their respective schools' operation and quality academic programs. In order to be accredited, the school must specify an educational philosophy that conforms to the Bible standard, the program is consistent with that philosophy, meet certain criteria generally acceptable to Christian educators, and demonstrate proper and excellent academic characteristics.
