Accreditation & Affiliations
Accreditation
QSI International School of Shenzhen has been accredited by the Middle States Association (MSA) since 2006. QSI schools maintain their accreditation with MSA through a continual process of identifying areas for growth and implementing a community-supported action plan to push the boundaries of success. Quality Schools International is currently working to achieve System-wide accreditation through MSA, allowing QSI to reflect on where we are now, where we want to be in 5-7 years, and develop plans to reach our goals. All QSI schools are involved in some aspect of preparedness toward accreditation at any given time. Accreditation provides an external mark of excellence understood by colleges and schools worldwide.
The Middle States Association (MSA) is a worldwide leader in accreditation and school improvement. For over 125 years, Middle States has been helping school leaders establish and reach their goals, develop strategic plans, promote staff development, and advance student achievement.
