WASC Accreditation at SBHEM

 

As a Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accredited school, we are committed to maintaining high standards of educational excellence for all students.

 

What is WASC?
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is a regional accrediting agency that evaluates and supports schools in fostering high-quality learning environments. Accreditation ensures that schools meet rigorous educational effectiveness and continuous improvement criteria, ultimately enhancing student achievement and outcomes.

  • Continuously improves through data-driven planning and self-assessment.
  • Prepares students for college and careers with a focus on STEM fields and 21st-century skills.
