LOS ANGELES- Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School Administration with
the participation of its faculty, staff and parents prepared for the
WASC accreditation since early 2010. The WASC Accreditation committee
visited the school for 4 days from March 26 through March 30 2011.
After conducting a thorough inspection of school facilities and
classrooms, and conducting countless interviews and meetings with
staff, parents and students, the committee issued a 26 page report
praising the school for its commitment to academic excellence and its
adherence to WASC standards.
On Thursday, the Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School was notified by
the Western Association of Schools and Colleges that it was granted
the maximum (six year) term accreditation which expires on June 30,
2017. In the letter the WASC Commission Chair Dale J Mitchell said
`the Western Association of Schools and Colleges is pleased to
announce the action taken by the Accrediting Commission for schools
granting Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian School a six-year term of
accreditation with a midterm review expiring on June 30, 2017. Please
accept our congratulations on the quality of instruction being offered
in your school'.
The WASC Committee report said `The Rose and Alex Pilibos Armenian
School has made significant progress on the previously identified
growth areas, and has instituted programs, policies, and organizations
that have become part of the institution.'
Among some of the strengths mentioned were `a clear and unified vision
for the school that is supported by all stakeholders, effective
communication on student progress through email, school website and
online grading system, staff ownership of curriculum development and
academic freedom, a strong level of support for collaboration among
staff, a safe campus.'
The report also mentions that `the school leadership has demonstrated
a commitment to the faculty through retention of staff despite the
economic downturn. The school strives to create a familiar and
collegial relationship among all school personnel. The level of
involvement of the faculty in extracurricular and student activities
illustrates that the faculty participation is valued.'
`This is an honor for the school and a reward for all the stakeholders
who worked and continue to work for the betterment of our school and
the continual progress of the school's academic and educational
standards and quality,' said Pilibos principal Nazo Apanian.
