Virtual/Blended Visit Approach in Response to COVID-19

Middle States relies on a vast network of volunteers for one of the most important aspects of our accreditation work: peer review. Middle States teams visit several hundred educational institutions each year and we offer a number of trainings to ensure that volunteers are well prepared for this work. If you have never served on a team before but are interested in learning more, please speak with your head of school about nomination to our database of visitors and contact us at accreditation@msa-cess.org.

In response to COVID-19, visits will be in a blended format with many visits fully virtual. If you are planning to serve on a team visit, we encourage you to attend “Team Member Training for Virtual Visits” for an orientation and training in what to expect when conducting an accreditation visit virtually.
For trainings for schools, such as Organizing for Self-Study, please visit the Trainings for Schools page.
