Accreditation International

Accreditation International transcends national boundaries and assists in the development of nations’ educational systems. Ai relies on a key group of education experts and accreditors—both national and international. These experts have not only facilitated the design of Ai but are also those who will lead the accreditation processes for schools. Much of the work related to developing new accrediting associations in countries outside the USA will be done by the International Council for Education in cooperation with Accreditation International. A group of highly accomplished leaders in education accreditation has assembled to discuss the need for a new worldwide accreditation organization – Accreditation International (Ai). It was noted by these individuals that a new accreditation organization must retain the traditional approach to accreditation, which emphasizes a collegial, peer review, and self-study process, while integrating research-based, twenty-first century skills, international benchmarks, and American common core standards. Accreditation International (Ai) is unique in the field of accreditation, as not only does Ai accredit in five fields of education – schools, career and technical, distance education, early childhood, and supplementary education, it also encourages and works “hands-on” in partnership with countries in the development of new accreditation organizations. Ai has a cadre of experienced accreditation leaders and review team members from all over world, speaking dozens of different languages and representing various cultures.
