In 2020, Beaconhouse Al Khaleej International School has been officially accredited by American International Accreditation Association AIAA. We are still a part of the New England Association of schools and colleges (NEASC) as well and are currently awarded the Candidacy status. However, we have now received accreditation from AIAA and we are very happy to have achieved yet another milestone in our education journey. The team of AIAA had visited us during the year to evaluate our standards of teaching. After a thorough evaluation and various amounts of documentation, they have passed us as a positive school providing students with standards of education that meet with international bodies.
In 2019, after two successful visits, the accreditation board of New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) awarded Candidacy status to BAKIS.
NEASC is a globally recognized standard of excellence, and the accreditation attests our school’s high quality and integrity. We hosted a three-day Learning Principles visit by two NEASC officials in March where all aspects of teaching, learning and attainment were rigorously scrutinized. The NEASC team awarded the school candidacy status and we can now display the “NEASC candidate” logo on our school’s website and printed materials.
