Accreditation

 

 

Thomas Heyward Academy is accredited through June 2029 by the  South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA). The mission of SCISA is to provide outstanding service to member schools through academic, athletic, and student-centered programs. Accreditation is a voluntary process of self-evaluation and continuous improvement that reflects compliance with required standards/indicators, involves a self-study, and includes a peer review by educators from other schools. SCISA accreditation is designed specifically for independent schools.

 

 

Thomas Heyward Academy is accredited though June 2029 by Cognia (formerly named AdvancED).  Cognia offers accreditation and certification, assessment, professional services and consulting within a framework of continuous improvement. The result of the merger of AdvancED and Measured Progress, Cognia was formed to bridge the gap between school evaluation and student assessment. Cognia conducts an Accreditation Engagement Review every five years to assimilate, evaluate, interview and report how our school is educating the students and following guidelines to maintain our accreditation.
