Accreditation

Corpus Christi Catholic School is accredited in an annual process through the Michigan Nonpublic School Accrediting Association. Since its opening, CCCS has remained a fully accredited school, committed to upholding standards of excellence as they pertain to Mission and Catholic Identity, Governance and Leadership, Academic Excellence, and Operational Vitality.

What is accreditation and why is it needed?

Founded in 1985 the Michigan Non-Public School Accrediting Association (MNSAA), has provided an avenue for non-public schools to develop and maintain high standards of excellence.

MNSAA serves nearly 200 Catholic schools in the state of Michigan, including nearly all of the Diocese of Grand Rapids schools, guiding them through an internal and external review as it pertains to all school activities, from academics to faith to community support to operations and finance. Accreditation is based on the National Standard and Benchmarks for Excellent Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools. These standards were developed by the National Catholic Education Association and are grounded in Church teaching and best practices in education and business.

Annually, the school must submit a report documenting compliance with state rules and regulations, and detailing their progress addressing any concerns listed by the site team. Each team undergoes the complete self-study process every five years.

Corpus Christi School administrators look forward to the receiving the results of the accreditation process and to creating the focus plan that will be created following review of the report.
