Schools Complete Accreditation Process

School Accreditation is the process that our Lutheran schools go through to foster ongoing school improvement and demonstrate they are meeting the standards for a quality school. Six elementary schools in the CNH District went through a full accreditation process by Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) during the 2024-25 school year. These schools had to complete a full self-study and then have a three-day visit by a visiting committee of trained educators.

These schools went through this process:

• Bethany Vacaville

• Trinity Paso Robles

• Redeemer Redwood City

• St. John’s Napa

• St. John’s Bakersfield

• St. Peter Lodi

Two of our preschools, St. John’s Napa and St. John’s Bakersfield, were among the first to go through a new NLSA accreditation protocol.
