The Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (Middle States Association or M.S.A.) is a voluntary, peer-based, non-profit association that performs peer evaluation and regional accreditation of public and private secondary/high schools and elementary schools in the Mid-Atlantic United States and certain foreign institutions of American origin.

The “Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools” (M.S.A.-C.E.S.S.) accredits public and private schools as well as school systems throughout the United States. It is active in more than 85 countries around the world.

The school proved to be able to meet all candidacy standards for accreditation and has subsequently been awarded accreditation to May 1, 2025.
