Last week, QISS had the pleasure of hosting the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation team, one of the six major educational groups acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Education. WASC is a non-profit and non-governmental accrediting organization, and achieving their accreditation is considered equivalent to receiving an "Oscar in Education." The application requirements for WASC accreditation are complex, and the accreditation and reaccreditation procedures involve a thorough and in-depth evaluation of the school. Elements of the reaccreditation process include the submission of a self-study report about our organization, as well as an evaluation of our school, curriculum, funding allocation, staffing, and resources. Guided by the WASC accreditation requirements for overall school improvement, the school has continuously made progress in aligning all that our organization does with QISS school values, mission, and vision.

上周，QISS迎来了新一阶段WASC(Western Association of Schools and Colleges) 认证的权威团队。 WASC 即美国西部院校协会，作为受美国教育部认可的非盈利和非政府组织的六大教育联盟之一，被称为“教育界奥斯卡”。WASC认证的申请门槛和难度较高，从申请条件来看，WASC对申请学校做出了包括规划、组织、课程、评价、资金、人员等全方位要求。在WASC对学校整体改进的指导下，学校取得了持续性的发展，我们所做的一切与QISS的价值观、使命和愿景相一致。

Following a week-long reaccreditation process, the WASC team shared their impressions of our school. They had so many positive things to say about our organisation, staff and students. They also expressed their enthusiasm about the time they spent with us. It"s safe to say that the QISS Sharks are doing an exceptional job of exemplifying our school values, preparing themselves to be life ready leaders and leading with a mindful heart.

经过此次为期一周对学校全方位深入的检查和评估后，WASC认证小组介绍了他们对QISS产生的印象。可以说，QISS"鲨鱼们 "做得非常好，展示了我校的价值观—成为生活的领导者，用心以爱领导自己。
