Welcome to
SAES
The Southwestern Association
of Episcopal Schools (SAES) is a member in good standing of the National
Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Commission on Accreditation. It has
voluntarily agreed to abide by the Commission’s Criteria for Effective
Independent School Accreditation Practices and to submit to a
thorough review
and evaluation of its accreditation standards, criteria, and procedures.
SAES is recognized by state agencies and by eleven Episcopal dioceses within the
six states served by SAES.
SAES serves 112
Episcopal schools, richly diverse in location, size and scope, throughout the
states of Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas. SAES not only is
the single faith-based accrediting association recognized by the National
Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Accreditation Commission, but also is
the only Episcopal accrediting association in the United States. Both of these
factors combine to place SAES in a unique position to serve Episcopal schools
both inside and outside its current five-state boundary.
The mission of
the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools is to lead, to nurture, and to
unify Episcopal schools in order to advance educational excellence within the
faith community of the Episcopal Church.
"Dear Lord, Thank you for reminding me that You
have brought the children
and me together for a purpose, and that the work You
have given
me to do is a sacred trust."
