Chesterton Academy of Bowling Green Earns Cognia Initial Accreditation
Chesterton Academy of Bowling Green has earned Cognia® Initial Accreditation. Cognia is a nonprofit school improvement organization that provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and education service providers.
“Initial accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides Chesterton Academy of Bowling Green an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to building a strong foundation for improvement and enacting meaningful change based on our initial evaluation and feedback,” shared Dr. Tom Stewart, Headmaster.
Cognia recognizes schools and systems across the globe that meet rigorous standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable resource allocation, and effective leadership. For initial accreditation, institutions must show evidence meeting the Essential Requirements, demonstrate commitment to the accreditation process, and host an Initial Accreditation Review to achieve a two-year initial accreditation.
Dr. Mark A. Elgart, president and CEO of Cognia, stated, “Cognia Initial Accreditation is a rigorous, but flexible process where we work with schools and systems at every stage—from pre-launch to fully operational—provided they meet our nine foundational Essential Requirements. These institutions undergo an initial review to ensure they are committed to improvement, and in their two-year initial accreditation period, they can leverage Cognia’s improvement resources to prepare for their Accreditation Engagement Review. We commend Chesterton Academy of Bowling Green for beginning their improvement journey with initial accreditation and making progress on key indicators that impact student learning.”
