  The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), represented by an Accreditation Visiting Team, will be visiting our school this Sunday, March 25th through Wednesday, March 28th. Throughout the week, WASC team members will be meeting with Administration, Teaching Faculty, Focus Group Members and Calvary Lutheran Church Leadership. The WASC Team will also observe all aspects of our educational program.       You May Ask!  |      Why Accreditation?   |     |   - To certify to        the public that CLS is a trustworthy institution of learning
 - To validate        the integrity of CLS's programs and student transcripts
 - To foster        improvement of CLS's programs and operations to support student learning
 - To assure our        community that CLS's purposes are appropriate and being accomplished        through a viable educational program
 - To manage        change through regular assessment, planning, implementing, monitoring        and reassessment
 - To assist CLS        in establishing its priority areas for improvement as a result of the        perpetual accreditation cycle that includes: 
 - School         self-assessment of the current educational program for students
 - Insight         and perspective from the visiting committee
 - Regular         school staff assessment of progress through the intervening years         between full self-studies
