WELS School Accreditation (WELSSA)
In 2003, the Commission on Parish Schools and the Board for Parish Services resolved to establish a WELS school accreditation process as a means of improving the educational quality and effectiveness of Lutheran schools and their ministry. The formal title of the accreditation process is Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod School Accreditation (WELSSA). The CPS presented WELSSA to the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) and applied for membership in that organization. In June 2003 the NCPSA granted Candidacy Status to WELSSA. Two of the requirements of that Candidacy Status is that WELSSA be field tested in WELS schools and that an NCPSA consultant work with the Executive Director of WELSSA during that field test. In June 2005 the NCPSA accepted WELSSA as a member.
For more information about the School Accreditation process or to order the complete WELSSA Handbook, please contact the Commission on Parish Schools WELSSA Director Jeff Inniger.
