Mountain Home Christian Academy has earned accreditation from Cognia, a nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, districts, and education service providers, the school announced Monday.
Accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission signifies that the academy meets rigorous performance standards and has demonstrated a commitment to continuous improvement through internal and external evaluations.
“Accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides a nationally recognized mark of quality for our school,” said Alecia Czanstkowski, K-12 principal. “It demonstrates to our community our commitment to excellence, our willingness to enact meaningful change based on evaluation and feedback, and our desire to be the best we can be on behalf of the students we serve.”
Board President Robin Robinson called the achievement a significant milestone. “This recent recognition confirms the excellent Christ-centered education our students receive at MHCA. We give God the praise for putting in place the right leadership and staff to see this through,” says Robinson.
Cognia accredits schools worldwide that meet standards related to effective leadership, learning environments, and resource allocation. Schools in good standing maintain accreditation for a six-year term.
“Cognia Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses the entire school and its community on the primary goal of ensuring all students can flourish in engaging and equitable learning environments,” says Dr. Mark Elgart, president and CEO of Cognia.
Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement(NCA CASI), the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).
Mountain Home Christian Academy is located at 1989 Glenbriar Drive in Mountain Home.
