International Association of Schools and Colleges (I.A.S.C.)

The International Association of Schools and Colleges (I.A.S.C.) accredits only programs meeting rigorous academic criteria, including a commitment to continuous improvement. I.A.S.C. accreditation also ensures that college and university programs are recognized both nationally and internationally by most regional accrediting bodies, and that the graduates of an I.A.S.C. accredited program will benefit from an expert teaching staff, and comprehensive courses.

Mission of the I.A.S.C.

International Association of Schools and CollegesThe I.A.S.C. serves to certify that an institution of learning is promoting a Student-First (SF) education model. SF education models begin with the individual student and build curriculum around that student's aptitudes, interests, skill levels, learning style and emotional preparedness.

Student-First schools rely on input from students, parents/guardians, and credentialed teachers using such accepted tools as Holland Testing (oral and written), to design curriculum that will encourage students to lead with their strengths. Student-First schools replace the traditional static curriculum/syllabus course orientation with a dynamic wide-ranging, flexible design model, a model sensitive to the point-in-time needs of each student.

Why Student-First Accreditation?

Importance of SF Accreditation

I.A.S.C. Student-First accredited programs offered by universities, colleges and secondary schools work on the principle that only trained instructors possessing knowledge of each student's aptitudes, skill levels and subject concentration interests can determine program delivery methods successfully.

Currently, most university, college and secondary school programs in the United States and internationally implement a top-down, administrator-centered program structure that predetermines method prior to understanding individual student requirements. This without exception leads to a partial or full failure on the part of a program to maximize a student's learning experience. The teacher and student in an I.A.S.C. program have the ability to adjust program method based on the particular set of learning variables each student possesses.
