Coventry Christian - 2021 Accreditation Self Study
Coventry Christian Schools is completing its self study evaluation in 2021. This process is part of the Excellence by Design protocol through Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. "Excellence by Design is an accreditation protocol that uses strategic planning as a vehicle for growth and improvement in student performance and in the school's capacity to effect that growth. ... it is a future-oriented and visionary process. In addition, the protocol provides for a continuous review of programs and services and of the results of student performance."
As part of the self study process, the school is organizing committees to evaluate 12 separate areas of our school. We are inviting you to join one of these committees. By joining a committee you will help to evaluate a specific area of our school between July, 2021 and November, 2021. Over these 5 months committees will meet 2-4 times and committee members will invest 5-15 hours of time. The success of our self-study process relies on feedback and evaluation from a diverse group of constituents including administration, board members, teachers, parents, students, alumni and others. Please review the committee options below and use the form to indicate your interest. We recommend that constituents choose just one committee to support. Thank you for your time and consideration.
