We are proud to announce that Royal Oak Schools has officially been awarded full accreditation status by Cognia, a globally recognized leader in advancing educational excellence.
This distinction—conferred by the Cognia Global Commission on June 26, 2025—reflects our district’s ongoing commitment to high standards, continuous growth, and student-centered learning. Accreditation through Cognia involves a rigorous evaluation process conducted by three respected regional agencies:
-
The North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI)
-
The Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC)
-
The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI)
Earning this accreditation validates the exceptional work happening across our district—from the classrooms to our support systems—and it demonstrates that we are providing a high-quality learning environment that prepares students for college, careers, and life.
This milestone is more than a recognition; it’s a reflection of the passion, collaboration, and hard work of our entire school community—students, staff, families, and partners. It also reassures families that our diplomas and transcripts are respected and accepted across the globe.
Cognia’s process involves a comprehensive review of our curriculum, instructional practices, leadership strategies, and resource allocation. It's a continuous improvement cycle that aligns directly with our district’s mission to create a safe, inclusive, and student-first environment where all learners can thrive in a dynamic world.
As we move forward, this accreditation affirms our shared vision of being a Community of Excellence. We will continue to build on this momentum—empowering educators, enhancing programs, and ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are making a lasting impact.
