AISPP Receives Prestigious ACS WASC Accreditation
We are thrilled to announce that the Australian International School Phnom Penh has been awarded the highly esteemed 5-year accreditation status by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC). This significant achievement marks another milestone in our commitment to excellence in primary and secondary education.
ACS WASC is one of the oldest and most respected accrediting bodies in the world. The accreditation process is rigorous and is based on the following seven ACS WASC accreditation principles:
- Accomplishment of school purpose (core beliefs, vision, mission) and schoolwide learner outcomes
- High achievement of all students based on schoolwide learner outcomes/curricular standards
- Use of multiple ways to analyze data about student achievement
- Program evaluation in relation to schoolwide learner outcomes, standards and research-based ACS WASC criteria and indicators
- Alignment of findings to schoolwide action plan
- Evaluation of ongoing improvement and impact on student learning
- Total involvement and collaboration
In the letter from ACS WASC, the commission stated that “We look forward to Australian International School Phnom Penh’s anticipated success and continuing improvement in keeping with ACS WASC’s pursuit of worldwide excellence in elementary and secondary education.”
This recognition is a testament to AISPP’s drive to provide a world-class education to its diverse student community. The ACS WASC acknowledges the hard work and dedication of our faculty, staff, students, and parents, who all play a pivotal role in shaping the AISPP community.
Some of the benefits students receive when attending an ACS WASC accredited school, like AISPP, include:
- Recognized and Trusted Credentials: Graduating from an accredited school like AISPP enhances the credibility of a student’s educational qualifications, making them more widely recognized and accepted by colleges and universities worldwide
- Better job prospects: Employers often look for graduates of accredited schools when hiring new employees.
- Increased opportunities for scholarships and financial aid: Many scholarships and financial aid programs are only available to students who attend accredited schools.
In the spirit of this accreditation, AISPP reaffirms its commitment to fostering global citizens, critical thinkers, and compassionate leaders who will positively impact the world. Our school will continue to grow and evolve, empowered by this recognition, as we strive to provide the best educational experience for our students.
