Brainerd Baptist School Receives Accreditation

The SAIS Board of Trustees recently informed our school that we have been re-accredited for another five-year period, spanning July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2030. This achievement is the culmination of a comprehensive self-study that identified key areas of growth and self-improvement for our school. The SAIS accreditation process encompasses all aspects of school life and operations, ensuring we meet the highest standards of educational excellence.

SAIS is recognized as the premier accreditation organization in our region, serving over 400 schools across fifteen states, as well as in Mexico, Honduras, and St. Martin. As part of this rigorous process, a team of educators from other independent schools in our region visited our campus in November. Over two and a half days, they engaged with all constituencies, including trustees, parents, faculty, alumni, and community stakeholders. This visit involved a thorough review of our policies, programs, and adherence to standards of best practice.

The visiting team provided us with numerous commendations, highlighting the exceptional work taking place on our campus. These commendations are a testament to the dedication and commitment of our entire school community. Alongside these commendations, the team also offered several recommendations for areas where we can continue to grow and improve. We have already begun addressing these recommendations to ensure our school remains a leader in providing a high-quality educational experience.

Being re-accredited by SAIS reaffirms our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in education. We are proud of this accomplishment and look forward to building on this foundation over the next five years.
