About Us

 

The Committee on Institution-Wide Accreditation (CIWA) is a bridging division of the Middle States Association addressing accreditation with schools and school districts/systems that work with that continuum of students extending beyond the scope of either the Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools (CES) or the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools (CSS) alone. In addition, CIWA includes in its membership Service Agencies such as Intermediate Units (in Pennsylvania) and Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (in New York). While accreditation of CIWA institutions is granted cooperatively by both CES and CSS, a single staff works with CIWA members, as well as their visiting teams and reports, and coordinates with the staff of both Commissions.

Records, billing, and membership is maintained separately for CIWA members. For more information regarding membership or services provided through CIWA, please contact one of the following staff members:
