INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ACCREDITATION

A globally recognised standard of excellence, accreditation from the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC) attests to a school’s high quality and integrity. NEASC-accredited status indicates that the member school has achieved high standards of professional performance and is committed to continuing growth and development.

In 2016, CIE introduced ACE Learning, its groundbreaking accreditation protocol which presents a fundamentally different approach to accreditation.

To learn more about ACE, please view the ACE Introduction. It explains the conceptual framework that underpins ACE, describes the various phases of the accreditation process, and summarises the most significant differences to current protocols.

NEASC and ECIS enjoy a professional learning partnership around the ACE protocol.

Teacher Preparation Certificate Programme.

TEACH-NOW provides a unique teaching model: rather than enroling in several courses in a single semester, candidates progress through a series of intense, comprehensive modules of different lengths, taken in sequence. The programme’s project/activity-based, collaborative learning model means candidate learning occurs synchronously, in mandatory virtual class sessions with 10 to 15 candidates in the learning cohort and the instructor, and asynchronously, outside of the scheduled virtual classes.
