  • Council on Educational Standards and Accountability (CESA)

    The Council on Educational Standards and Accountability insists that academic rigor and programmatic excellence in all areas are inherent to discipleship, not contradictory. As a result, CESA schools demand quality, commitment, rigor, and excellence in every facet of the school. CESA, therefore, works in conjunction with schools to enable growth, provide resources for improvement, and hold accountable all schools that strive for programmatic distinction and excellence for the glory of God. Raising the bar of excellence in Christian schools is at the heart of all that is done at CESA. To do so, The Council on Educational Standards and Accountability has established the Five Standards of Accountability, which provide a concrete, objective framework for schools to work within as they aspire to excellence that is applied within the context of the peer-to-peer relationships of like-minded school leaders that set CESA apart.
