CITA
The CITA & SACS, USA
Purpose:
The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation (CITA) is the most rapidly growing agency in the world. It enforces 7 strict accreditation standards (formerly 12) to measure the quality level of the school. These standards emphasize on areas of excellence in teaching methodology, curriculum, governance and leadership as well as health, hygiene, safety etc. only when these standards are met or exceeded such an accreditation is granted.
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) is a regional participating commission which enhances the accreditation protocol.
Background:
In 1880, American schools & universities joined hands together to create a method to ensure the highest standards of quality in education. Thus CITA’s roots are over 120 years old.
