Accreditation is a voluntary method of quality assurance for Independent Schools developed by American schools and universities. It is designed to ensure institutions adhere to high educational standards and best practices. This process helps Rivendell assess its programs, processes, and curriculum, enabling us to make changes to achieve our goal of excellence in education.
Rivendell School is accredited by Cognia, an organization known for its thorough evaluation and external review process. Cognia's research-based standards help schools, districts, and educational providers achieve continuous improvement. Demonstrating our dedication to excellence, Rivendell is also a member of the Association of Colorado Independent Schools (ACIS). ACIS schools follow a common set of rigorous standards that reflect the proven characteristics of good independent schools. These standards are based on the Principles of Good Practice of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
Rivendell is also pursuing accreditation from ACIS and actively working to meet or exceed ICAISA (International Council Advancing Independent School Accreditation) standards as well.
