MEMBER SCHOOL DIRECTORY
MEMBERSHIP
Membership in the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools is gained through the accreditation process. All institutional members are either accredited or working towards that status. For more information on joining the Commission on Secondary Schools, please visit our Becoming a Member section.
DIRECTORY
The Commission on Secondary Schools (CSS) provides a membership directory as a service to our schools and according to our policies. General information is available to any interested party regarding the name and location of our members, general type of school, the first year of their membership, and the date that accreditation is to be renewed. Further information about the individual institution can be gained by visiting the web site address provided by each school. Status of accreditation is also provided – indicating whether the school is in the candidacy stage of accreditation. Mailing lists of member schools are not available.
SEARCHING FOR A MEMBER
Visitors can search our database of members by visiting the Search Members Schools link. Searching can be done for an individual school (by name or partial name), or a group of schools in a particular category or categories (e.g. boarding schools in Pennsylvania)
PK-12 institutions (CIWA) are members of both CSS and the Commission on Elementary Schools (CES). CIWA membership includes individual schools within a school district that has chosen to apply the accreditation process system-wide. Currently, the membership directory for CIWA members can be found on the CIWA web site: www.ciwa-msa.org. Therefore, if you do not find your school listed here, please search the CIWA directory, as well.
OTHER ACCREDITORS
As a service to our schools, we offer a joint accreditation process to those who wish dual accreditation. Links to those collaborating partners can be found in this section.
Middle States is one of six regional accrediting bodies in the United States. Links to our sister organizations in other parts of the country can be found in this section, as well.
