TSEA receives continued WASC accreditation

In March of this year, the Tall Ship Education Academy underwent a review by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). This review insures that our programs are educationally sound, and deserve recognition among other educational institutions.

Our first review, in March 2006, resulted in a three year accreditation period. This year, a small team of board, staff and volunteers conducted a self-study that was presented to the WASC committee. The committee visited the Tall Ship Academy just before the girls left on their voyage to ground truth the study. They talked to board members, SFSU staff, TSEA faculty and of course, the students.

This week, we received the letter from WASC stating that we have continued accreditation through 2015! This is a great accomplishment and another sign of the effectiveness of the TSEA programs.
