A Guide to Assessing Your Community Arts School

Questions for Internal Review and Reflection

The Accrediting Commission for Community and Precollegiate Arts Schools and the National Guild for Community Arts Education (formerly National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts) are pleased to make available
A Guide to Assessing Your Community Arts School.

Jointly developed by ACCPAS and National Guild, the Guide is designed to assist community arts school leaders with the important task of organizational assessment and to make the ACCPAS accreditation process more user-friendly. Containing questions derived from ACCPAS accreditation standards, the Guide addresses a wide range of issues from mission to finances, governance, staffing, facilities, evaluation, planning, and more. Organizations that may not want to take the assessment process all the way to accreditation will find the Guide useful for their own internal review, while those interested in pursuing accreditation will find it a helpful preparatory resource.
