Middle States Association calls TMLA "model high school for accreditation."

The Middle States Association of Secondary Schools conducted an intensive four-day study of The Mary Louis Academy. After a jam-packed schedule of classroom, faculty, student, parent and outside observations and meetings, the Middle States Team not only recommended re-accreditation for TMLA, but also noted The Mary Louis Academy as “the model for every other high school in the country seeking accreditation and re-accreditation.” Congratulations and thank you to the Middle States Association, to TMLA Principal, Sister Kathleen McKinney CSJ, TMLA Assistant Principals, Sister Filippa Luciano CSJ and Sister Eileen Gildea CSJ, TMLA’s Middle States Co-ordinators, Mrs. Michelle Ezzo, Mrs. Grace Scozzaro-Patchett and Sister Joan Killen CSJ, all faculty, students, parents, friends and all others who participated in this project, which was conducted over a period of ten years. The Middle States Association of Higher Education and Secondary Schools was begun in 1887 at the University of Pennsylvania. Accreditation by the Middle States Association defines the characteristics of quality in American secondary and higher education.

*Accreditation is the affirmation that a school provides a quality of education that the community has a right to expect and the education world endorses. Accreditation is a means of showing confidence in a school's performance. When the Commission on Secondary Schools accredits a school, it certifies that the school has met the prescribed qualitative standards of the Middle States Association within the terms of the school's own stated philosophy and objectives.
