Friendship Christian School Accreditation Reaffirmed
Goldsboro, NC: The accreditation of Friendship Christian School (FCS) has been reaffirmed by the North Carolina Christian School Association (NCCSA) effective March, 1 2017 for a term of five years. NCCSA accreditation provides a benchmark for Christian schools which measures standards, performance, integrity, and quality. Schools engage in a voluntary process of self-evaluation against accepted best practices and educational standards. This evaluative process involved the visit of an accreditation team of Christian education professionals who scrutinized the following standards for accreditation: philosophy and administration, governance, school improvement plan, finances, facilities, school climate and organization, health and safety, educational program, assessment, student services, student life and activities, and information resources and technology. The accreditation process is designed to assist schools in achieving a standard of excellence and provides the framework for the on-going School Improvement Program (SIP) of the school.
The NCCSA accreditation protocol has been formally recognized by the North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education and is approved by the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) through a co-accreditation agreement with the North American Christian School Accrediting Agency (NACSAA). As part of the onsite team visit, a representative of the NACSAA participated in the peer review and report writing process. As a member of the National Council for Private School Accreditation, NACSAA partners with the Middle States Association Commission on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) to provide co-accreditation to NCCSA member schools desiring to pursue regional accreditation.
Friendship Christian School is located at 5510 Falls of Neuse Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. FCS currently educates students in grades PS – 12. FCS is committed to Christ-centered education with academic excellence in a nurturing environment.
