   TESTIMONIALS

"MNSAA is sets a high standard for school improvement while at the same time being understanding of the demands that schools are under.  MNSAA is a grounded organization based on the fundamental purpose to give credibility to non-public schools in Minnesota before the public eye.  It serves as a means for institutional change." -- David Andrys, Principal of Sacred Heart Elementary, East Grand Forks  

"SJAS has been a member of MNSAA for over 20 years. There is no doubt that the annual reports and the periodic team visits have enhanced the quality of the school. These activities provide a more objective lens with which to evaluate progress and programs. In addition, the school community is supported in its efforts to grow and 'keep up with the times'. MNSAA is respectful of the different religious affiliations and that fact is evident during a team visit. Being part of MNSAA is not always easy, but there is great satisfaction in offering your community an accredited school."-- Mary Sabin, Principal of St. John Area School, Foley

"School accreditation brings viability to an educational institution – at any level.  Through our accreditation with MNSAA, we continue to improve the educational program that we provide to the young people charged to our care.  The relationship that our school has had with MNSAA has been a tremendous blessing and benefit to our entire school community!" -- Tim Plath, Principal of Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School – New Ulm

"As an Orthodox Jewish School in the Twin Cities, MNSAA has helped us maintain our unique identity while providing assistance in raising our standards and evaluating our programs."  -- Ginger Vance, Principal of Torah Academy, St. Louis Park

“When I became principal at our Preschool-Grade 6 Catholic School, I so appreciated having the School Plan of Improvement to serve as a guide for me in my job.  Our current School Plan continues to serve as a guide for our School Board and Faculty as we strive to make our school the best it can be!” -- Mrs. Teresa Matetich, Principal, St. Joseph’s School, Grand Rapids

"As Director of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Duluth, MNSAA has helped me ensure quality Catholic education in the Diocese of Duluth. The standards for accreditation and the verification of annual school progress assist me in focusing on the needs of the individual schools and to plan and provide opportunities for ongoing self-improvement for the schools.  When there are common areas needing further development, the schools assist one another in attaining their goals.  When there are unique situations and areas needing individualized assistance, I am able to collaborate with other principals and superintendents to provide the resources and expertise to meet the particular need." -- Cynthia Zook, Director of Schools, Diocese of Duluth

"MNSAA has provided our school a way to affirm and challenge our school community so we can serve our families better.  The team visit and the process before the team comes on site is clearly a growth experience for not only our school but also our parish community.  It helps us have "quality assurance." – Rita Humbert, Principal of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School, Hastings

"The MNSAA accreditation process has been paramount in helping our school continue to improve and move forward. Schools are such busy places that it's easy to get caught in the work of the moment but the MNSAA accreditation process encourages us to take time to reflect on current practices and also to look forward for ways to improve student achievement. MNSAA helps schools do this by providing training, templates and support. I truly believe that our schools are more effective because of our involvement with MNSAA."   – Laurie Acker, Former Principal of St. Therese School, Deephaven

"MNSAA is known and respected for what it requires of its member schools. Their own self-reflection has resulted in effective, efficient tools for us to use as we craft our own Self-Study and Strategic Plan. Because of MNSAA's high expectations for community inclusion, productive communication, efficacious instructional and assessment practices, and improving student achievement, MNSAA's assurance of quality substantiates our efforts to provide an education built on faith and academic excellence." – Molly Whinnery, Principal of St. Mark School, St. Paul

“Saint Francis of Assisi School has enjoyed a long-time relationship with MNSAA. MNSAA Accreditation ensures our stakeholders that the education we are offering truly is excellent. The accreditation cycle keeps us focused on our vision and mission as we seek to continually improve. Having a long-range plan and being held accountable to it through an annual reporting process assists all nonpublic schools that belong to MNSAA with a built-in systems check. Just as important is the valuable relationship and networking that develops with other MNSAA schools.” – Barb Plenge, Principal of St. Francis of Assisi School, Rochester

“The MNSAA accreditation process is a perfect way for our staff to step back and look at what we have been doing - and see if it includes the best educational practices.  Then we can let parents know their children are in the best place!”  -- Flo Schmidt, Retired School Principal, Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis 

"Accreditation provides a way to validate the identity of a school, Mission, Philosophy, and Curriculum. In addition it provides a way to ensure the school has vision and a strategic plan for the future. It is a plus for our parents and public to know that the Association is recognized by the Minnesota Department of Education." --  Gary G. Wilmer, Former Principal of St. Charles School, Minneapolis
