To follow-up on the issue of third-party / outside evaluation of private schools: I heard back from Jim Christopher who is the Director of the Canadian Association of Independent Schools (CAIS). The tone of his letter was very kind and concerned. He expressed his hope that the investigation of events at GCC would bring closure for all. As to the issue of evaluation / assessment of CAIS member schools, he states; "in actual fact, the Canadian Association of Independent Schools moved on this very issue over a year ago. We now require all members to be independently inspected and accredited by an outside third party. In the case of most of our schools, this work is done by the Canadian Educational Standards Institute (www.cesi.edu). Almost all of our Ontario member schools are currently accredited in this fashion. Unfortunately, Grenville Christian College was one of the few that had not been accredited. Those schools were given until November 2010 to complete the process or lose their memberships in our association." Anderson also stated that CAIS had not received any complaints (and no concerns were raised) about GCC, which became a member school in 2003. | ||
