The Catholic High Schools developed along the concepts of both the parish school and the private school generally conducted by or sponsored by Religious Orders. Since one of the essential goals of the high schools was the preparation for post high school education, school accreditation became a must.
Early in its development WCEA joined with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (the Regional accreditation association) when it came into existence. Essentially the purpose of any Catholic high school was to teach the faith and permeate its curriculum with the values taught by the Roman Catholic Church. Eventually the Catholic high schools developed their curriculum around the colleges and universities basic requirements for entrance so that a graduating senior’s diploma would be recognized by these institutions as proof of an academic education that prepared the student for higher education.
WCEA and WASC accredit all Catholic high schools in California and Hawaii. Seven other western states have included WCEA in their accreditation processes for the Catholic high schools on various levels to date.
