This year, Francis Parker will welcome an accreditation team from ISACS (Independent Schools Association of the Central States) as a key stage in the seven-year accreditation cycle. The ISACS Visiting Team will be on our campuses September 13 – 16 to see our School in action and meet with members of our community from all constituent groups, including our Family Association. The Family Association meeting with the Visiting Team is scheduled for Tuesday, September 15 at 9:00 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room on the Goshen Campus. This is an important opportunity to be part of the process and share your experience as a Francis Parker family. All FA leaders and Class Reps are invited, and, like all FA meetings, any parent/guardian who’d like to attend is also welcome. We hope to see a strong turnout from our families so that the Visiting Team hears from a broad range of voices and experiences.
The key steps in the accreditation cycle include conducting a Constituent Survey, which we did in 2024-25; writing our Self-Study, which we completed last year; and now hosting a Visiting Team of peers from ISACS schools that will write a comprehensive review to ensure that, first and foremost, we are living up to our mission and values and that we are meeting the ISACS standards of membership. The School will then write a Reaction Report to the Visiting Team Report next yea
