Gate of Heaven School, Dallas,
has established candidacy with the
Middle States Assembly of Elemen-
tary Schools, and has now begun the
evaluation process. Phase I of the
process is a self-study that consists
of a school philosophy study and a
community study. To insure a thor-
ough and valid community report,
the administration, faculty and staff
of Gate of Heaven are hoping for
the cooperation and valuable input
of residents from the Back Moun-
tain area.
The Middle States Association
was founded in 1887 and has pro-
vided standards for American edu-
cation throughout the 20th century.
of Gate of Heaven School, the ele-
mentary schools were not evaluated
until 1975. Since then, it has become
a more frequent process with the
first elementary schools having
been accredited in 1979.
For Gate of Heaven, Middle
States protocol means a greater
clarity of purpose, wider profes-
sional participation, motivation for
growth, better public relations, and
most importantly, a plan for
improvement resulting in continu-
ous quality education.
Through this evaluation, the
Middle States Association signifies
the school’s quality development,
and affirms to the community that
the school is deserving of public
confidence.
The self-study phase of the accre-
ditation process is essential, for the
educational beliefs of Gate of
Heaven School and the needs of the’
Back Mountain area it serves
becomes major determinants for
both the evaluation and planning
activities that follow.
