<strong>Stanstead</strong> <strong>College</strong> has been re-accredited by the New England<br />

Association of Schools & <strong>College</strong>s (NEASC), allowing our graduates<br />

continued direct access to U.S. colleges and universities.<br />

The school community underwent a lengthy self-study and<br />

evaluation process through much of 2006-2007 in order to<br />

renew its accreditation, which was first granted in 1996. This latest<br />

accreditation will be good through 2017.<br />

“The Commission [on Independent Schools] commends the<br />

school for its commitment to the self-study process which resulted<br />

in a thorough report that clearly reflects its steadfastness in<br />

ensuring its mission to provide ‘students from Canada and<br />

around the world’ with a quality education,” wrote William M.<br />

Bennett, Director of the Commission, in announcing the<br />

renewed NEASC accreditation.<br />

SC Receives Re-Accreditation by NEASC<br />

The accreditation process at <strong>Stanstead</strong> was overseen by<br />

Christian Wells, Geoff Telling and Liz Getty and involved 16<br />

self-study committees that looked at various aspects of school<br />

life. The committees consisted of members of the <strong>Stanstead</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> community, including teachers, staff personnel, alumni,<br />

parents, our head prefect and members of the greater community.<br />

As part of the accreditation process, <strong>Stanstead</strong> had to devise<br />

an action plan to tackle current and future needs. Among these is<br />

recommendation to develop a “comprehensive and cohesive plan<br />

for the use of technology” in keeping with our mission, strengthen<br />

the school’s finances, and look for “quantifiable ways to measure<br />

student growth.”<br />
