THE CALLING

Integrating Accreditation and Strategic Planning

"We just finished our AdvancEd accreditation and wow, did we nail it!  The Visiting Team gave us the most ‘Highly Functional’ ratings (3 out of 7 standards) that they have ever given.  Meitler was instrumental in this success because the strategic plan addressed the seven standards and indicators so well, and we have a clear implementation record showing improvement.  Thanks for all you did to get our plan rolling!”  
Mr. Russ Hart, Principal
 Gibault Catholic High School, Waterloo, IL

Accreditation is an essential element in the process of assessing quality in Catholic schools...

Increase in New School Studies

While we hear so much today about the closure and loss of our Catholic schools across the country, we should be excited that there is also new life and growth!  There is a growing demand and enthusiasm for new Catholic schools in areas of the country where the Catholic population is growing.
