During the June on-site session, Le Sallay Academy was excited to host Cognia's Lead Evaluator, Dr. Darrell Barringer who became that one person who managed to do it all. During his two-day visit, he observed classes, interviewed faculty and students, went through online class recordings, and found the time to give us constructive feedback.
Cognia is a nonprofit organization that for over 125 years has been providing certification and accreditation for schools across the globe. It serves 36,000 institutions and supports nearly 25 million students and 5 million educators. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that the school is recognized internationally, meets research-based standards of quality, and maintains a commitment to continuous improvement.
Using Cognia evaluation techniques, Darrell assessed the instructional design of Le Sallay's curriculum, the learning engagement between students, teachers and mentors, and the learning environment which he found equitable, supportive, active, and well-managed.
We are proud to share the inspiring feedback: Le Sallay scored higher than the international average across the 1.2 mln schools inspected by Cognia in 2012-2020, and fell into the top 10-15% of the list!
