AAHSA Accreditation

AAHSA Accreditation

Since 2003, AAHSA has offered accreditation; accreditation is founded on three pillars of:

  • compliance with the standards and indicators
  • the completion of a self-study
  • a visit by a team of peer educators

This process allows our members to pursue accreditation and to maintain the identity and mission that each school embraces. We ask you to tell your story and to show us who you are. We want to know that your efforts are driven by the mission of your school and that you do, what you say you do. An AAHSA accreditation confirms that your intended efforts are your actualized ones.

In the accreditation process, AASHA serves as your point of contact. All accreditation efforts are managed by AAHSA.

Currently there is an Annual demographic updates are also required by AAHSA at the time of yearly membership payment. In addition, an AAHSA two year interim report is required as part of the AAHSA accreditation.

To begin the AAHSA Process:

JOIN AAHSA

A school must first be a member of AAHSA to seek accreditation through us. Membership information is located under the ‘Eligibility Standards’ tab of our website. All criteria must be met before the accreditation process can begin.

In order to maintain the quality and meaning of the AAHSA “brand” of accreditation, the organization’s membership criteria has been updated. The membership criteria, in place for AAHSA today is much different than in the past. Schools that joined the organization under the old criteria were grandfathered. However, all member schools (even those that were grandfathered) are now required to meet the current criteria and seek accreditation, both of which show signs of a quality school.

If you have any questions about the current membership criteria, please contact Member Services at: 1-888-353-1122
