What is National Lutheran School Accreditation?
 
National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) is a process of self-evaluation followed by a visit of objective observers designed to help Lutheran schools improve the quality of their programs. The process is completely voluntary and available for every school operated by a single congregation, by an association of congregations, or by a Recognized Service Organization of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod or the Lutheran Church—Canada.

NLSA is a rigorous national accrediting process designed to evaluate schools based on their unique purpose as Lutheran schools. It helps schools evaluate not only the quality of the academics and programs, but also most importantly the spiritual dimension of the school. The "Standards for Lutheran Schools" and report forms are similar to those used by other accrediting agencies, both secular and religious. 
 
What Are The Purposes Of National Lutheran School Accreditation?
 
The purposes of NLSA are to:

1. Help Lutheran schools - early childhood, elementary and secondary - to improve.

2. Help all Lutheran schools and centers to evaluate themselves based upon their unique purposes and national standards.

3. Give appropriate recognition to those schools that complete the process successfully.
