Accreditation

Jesus and Mary Academy (Grades 1–12) is accredited by the Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA-CESS).

We join a community of 3,200 schools in 117 countries serving more than 2M+ students that hold themselves to the highest educational standards.

Middle States accreditation recognizes schools that demonstrate excellence in educational quality, governance, student learning, and continuous improvement.

Families can be confident that our students receive a rigorous education grounded in faith, academic excellence, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

As part of the accreditation process, we created a multi-year plan for growth and improvement with clear goals and the steps to reach them. We have begun putting this plan into practice and are excited to share updates with our community.

Why Middle States Association?

  • Guides, not gatekeepers: MSA is staffed by former school leaders who offer perspective, wisdom, and steady support at each step—people who’ve been in our shoes and have designed accreditation to serve communities like ours.

  • Clarity of identity & direction: The MSA process sharpens our mission, model, and measures into a clear narrative that guides day-to-day decisions.
