Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) Accreditation
All of the Archdiocese of San Francisco’s Catholic Schools are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The mission of WASC accreditation assures the educational community, the general public, and other organizations and agencies that an institution has clearly defined objectives appropriate to education; has established conditions under which their achievement can reasonably be expected; appears in fact to be accomplishing them substantially; is so organized, staffed, and supported that it can be expected to continue to do so; and demonstrates that it meets WASC criteria and accreditation standards. WASC cooperates formally with Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA) which is the other agency that accredits all of the Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
