All schools in the Diocese of Reno are accredited through the Western Catholic Education Association. Schools have the option of also being accredited through Northwest/AdvanceEd. Schools participate in a rigorous self-study process involving the entire school community. In addition, there is a multi-day visit from an accreditation team comprised of professionals from both our local and outside Catholic school communities. Protocols are varied between elementary and secondary schools but many areas are consistent, such as:
- Assessment of the school’s Catholic identity
