The Canadian Hallmarks Institute (CHI) Accreditation Program is a service available to independent schools to assist them in continuously improving their services. After a process of self-study and audit review, the CHI accreditation process verifies that accredited schools meet standards of high quality.
The following steps summarize the accreditation process:
-
-
The school and CHI agree to the accreditation team and the timing of their visit.
-
Before the visit, the school assembles all documentation that may be required for the team's visit.
-
During the site visit, which lasts at least two days, a team of experts verifies that the required number of standards has been achieved.
-
The Accreditation Council makes a decision after receiving the final report of the Accreditation team and awards the certificate.
-
The school must publish the required documents within four weeks of receiving the certificate.
-
To maintain accreditation, schools must file an annual School Profile with CHI as evidence that quality services are being maintained.
-
Accreditation expires automatically 6 years after the date of the certificate. |
