TERS receives regional accreditation

PABLO - Two Eagle River School (TERS) received its regional accreditation from the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools at the association's recent annual meeting in Portland, Oregon.

TERS, first accredited with the association in 1981, is also approved by the Montana State Accreditation Committee for the school year 2006/07. TERS is one of more than 1,800 in the region and more than 36,000 schools nationwide to maintain regional accreditation.

Being accredited "implies that the school subscribes to a process of voluntary self-regulation that is a constructive experience designated to improve the quality of the member school," a news release states. "Accreditation is a means of showing confidence in a school's performance."

By being accredited, TERS is assured that other regionally accredited schools will recognize their students' credits, transcripts and diplomas.
