NAPCIS ACCREDITATION
The National Association of Private Catholic and Independent Schools (NAPCIS) support and accredits K-12 schools faithful to the magisterium of the Catholic Church. For over 30 years, NAPCIS has assisted large and small, private, classical, and traditional Catholic schools with start-up guidance and a streamlined affordable accreditation process.
Are you an existing Catholic school looking for accreditation or an accreditation alternative?
In many states, accreditation is required for families to use local or national school choice funds. It shouldn’t consume a tenth of your budget. NAPCIS accreditation replaces a three-day onsite visit with a one-day, one-person visit and online team support, reducing costs and offering expertise from local and national Catholic education experts.

Are you a current Newman Guide Recommended School seeking accreditation?
Current Newman Guide Recommended schools can apply for NAPCIS accreditation through a streamlined track, having met both organizations’ required standards:
- The five Principles of Catholic Identity,
- use of Catholic curriculum standards,
- and operational policies.
These schools skip the first part of the self-study application and directly provide narrative and evidence for the Principles of Excellence required for NAPCIS accreditation.

Are you a new School desiring support and credibility?
You don’t need to wait to implement the Standards of Excellence.
New schools can:
- Apply immediately for NAPCIS Pre-accredited Membership while working to strengthening internal operations and programming.
- In year three, apply for Candidate status and begin the Self-Study.
- In year four, schedule the Accreditation visit to become a fully accredited school.
And with NAPCIS accreditation, all schools will become Newman Guide Recommended Schools!
