Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools is launching The Gold Star Affiliate Members Program, an exciting new program that will enhance the services we provide to Middle States Accredited Schools, at no additional cost to accredited institutions.   

The Gold Star Affiliate Members Program is open to a wide range of businesses, organizations and professional associations that provide products, programs and services to schools and organizations in the education field. All Affiliate Members will be vetted by the Middle States Association to ensure that their products and services are of the highest quality and provide the greatest value to CSS accredited institutions. They will be held to Middle States' high standards on which the association has built its prestigious reputation for more than 100 years.

Middle States accredited schools are invited to recommend potential Gold Star Affiliate Members. Click here to download or print a recommendation form. Complete and fax or email a completed form to Middle States for each recommended company/organization.
