NCA CASI

To earn accreditation from North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement, a school must demonstrate high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school, and implement a continuous school improvement plan focused on increasing student performance. NAS CASI accreditation provides Ohio Virtual Academy with an external mark of quality and a measurement of progress focused on raising student academic achievement.
