The Florida Catholic Conference Accrediatation Program was adopted by the Florida Bishops during the 1970-1971 school year. This program, developed by the state diocesan educational leaders in consultation with school pastors and principals, is now in its fifth revision and has been approved for use in the Catholic schools by the Florida Bishops. The standards of this accreditation program are derived from sound educational research and influenced by Catholic educational philosophy, which integrates faith and values with life and learning. These standards assist schools in working through a dynamic self-evaluation process which promotes accountability and ongoing excellence. Further, these standards, by serving as a basis to ensure quality in the schools, justify the faith that parents and others have placed in them. Catholic schools educate and contribute to the formation of a healthy and morally sound lifestyle. They are a tool for evangelization and have a reputation for quality education, discipline in the classroom, and transmission of Catholic values. The Florida Catholic Conferennce Accreditation program is designed to enhance all of these areas. Since its beginning more than three decades ago, this accreditation program has ushered in many positive changes and has ensured the continuation in improvement of Catholic schools in Florida. We are indeed thankful for and period of the dedicated pastors, administrators, teachers, and others who have made this possible. Their efforts are a blessing to this program and to the children in Catholic schools in Florida. |
