Duxbury High School has accomplished its self-study in preparation for the school’s formal evaluation for accreditation by the Commission on Public Secondary Schools of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

The self-study includes the completion of a comprehensive assessment of teaching and learning, and the support of teaching and learning. The focus of the evaluation visit will be to determine the extent to which our programs and services carry out the school’s core values and beliefs about student learning and meet the Commission’s Standards for Accreditation.

NEASC membership requires that a school undergo a self-study and formal evaluation at least once every ten years.  NEASC representatives will conduct a formal evaluation of DHS on October 21-24.

The New England Association of Schools and Colleges is a voluntary membership organization of more than 2,000 public and independent schools, colleges, universities, and vocational, technical, and career institutions. Of these, approximately 650 middle-high, K-12, and high schools have been accredited through the Association’s Commission on Public Secondary Schools. The Commission works with individual institutions to improve the quality of education at all levels through a continuous process of evaluation and accreditation.
