WASC, known as the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, was established in 1962 and is one of the six major educational associations authorized by the US Department of Education to accredit public and private primary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities. Its accredited members include top US universities such as Stanford and UC Berkeley.
Starting in 2023, ivyGoal's English teaching system officially joined the WASC association. In other words, students who complete the English Square/ESL, SAT/SSAT, and Grammar systems at ivyGoal can obtain WASC language certification, providing a shortcut to English language learning.
WASC certification serves over 4,600 public and private K-12 schools, church schools, private Pre-K - G12 schools, and adult schools.
The three principles of the WASC accreditation committee are:
- The goal of schools is student learning success.
- Each school has a clear purpose and goals set for all students.
- Schools participate in internal and external evaluations to self-improve in support of student learning.
