The only school in the Campania Region that is accredited by two leading International Education Agencies for Pre-K through Grade 12.
ACCREDITATION
A Commitment to High Standards
In 2005 ISN received accreditation from two prestigious external accreditation agencies: The Council of International Schools (CIS - international standards) AND the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC - United States standards). These accreditation agencies collaborate with leading international schools operating around the world and represent a global tradition of high standards and commitment to ongoing improvement in education.
Following the latest re-evaluation process that took place during the 2016/17 school year, ISN recently received re-accreditation status by both accrediting agencies. Through the process, key areas of improvement were identified and will be up for evaluation in the next year.

Are all accreditation agencies the same?
No, not all accreditation agencies are the same. The reliability and value of a school's accreditation depends on the process and standards of the accrediting agency. There are numerous accrediting agencies worldwide, however select few are recognized for their reliability and high standards. Parents should make sure their child's school is accredited by a reputable agency that upholds an in-depth and ongoing collaboration with schools for regular development and verifications.
