NEASC Commission on International Education
Commission Members - International Schools
The NEASC Commission on International Education is a panel of professional educators and one public member selected to represent our diverse membership. Commission members serve for three-year terms (renewable once).
Using the established Standards and Principles for international schools, Commission members meet three times a year to review Visiting Team Reports for continued and initial accreditation, along with other reports from school accreditation visits around the world. The Commission members also assist NEASC in discussing topics of relevance to current and future member schools.
