WASC accredits Coop through 2016
by Giff Johnson, Marshall Islands Journal, June 11, 2010
Majuro Cooperative School has received the longest accreditation term possible from a United States-based agency that accredits schools in the region.
Coop Principal Kathy Stratte reported this week that she received a letter from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges this week confirming a six-year term of accreditation that follows a visit WASC officials made to the school earlier this year.
“The Western Association of Schools and Colleges is pleased to announce the action taken by the Accrediting Commission for Schools granting Majuro Cooperative School a six-year term of accreditation with a midterm review, expiring on June 30, 2016,” wrote Dale M. Mitchell, WASC Commission Chairperson.
“This action was taken after a careful study of the Visit- ing Committee Report, which noted many laudable aspects of the school,” Mitchell said. “Please accept
our congratulations on the quality of instruction being offered in your school.”
