ACCREDITATION TESTIMONIALS

"Everything that you pitched on the Orientation Zoom several weeks back came true...it was an unbelievable experience. I returned to Tatnall yesterday inspired to resume the work at my school because of the GA experience AND because of working alongside such tremendous colleagues on the committee. Both sides of the experience were truly remarkable. The immediate collegiality that we experienced because everyone dove in and gave their best efforts over the four days was truly inspirational. Thank you for the honor and privilege of serving on this committee.
Paul Smith, Athletic Director, The Tatnall School

"When I told colleagues that I would be participating on a visiting committee, they excitedly shared that it would be a meaningful experience in which I would find personal and professional growth. Once I met my team, it became clear I would be collaborating with a group of experienced professionals with whom I shared values on education. The colleagues I worked with are people I would certainly reach out to in the future for advice or guidance if and when the time comes."
Mia Henry, Faculty, Hill Top Preparatory School

"The relationship forged with PAIS Accreditation Visiting Chair Chad Barnett was a cornerstone during every phase of the process for me – through the preparation, self-study, visit, post-visit, report, and moving forward with the recommendations. His investment in our process over so many months; his willingness to listen to the story about BFS during the past; and his honesty, directness, and clarity when talking through the emerging draft of the report and the final report itself was always noteworthy. It was apparent, throughout everything, that together we would all work in service of the school, our shared standards, and a common commitment to independence, innovation, and improvement."
Paul Lindenmaier, Head of School, Buckingham Friends School
