ACCREDITATION
STATEMENT
Lyman Memorial High School is accredited by the New England
Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non-governmental,
nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions
include elementary schools through collegiate institutions
offering post-graduate instruction.
Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association
indicates that Lyman Memorial meets or exceeds criteria
for the assessment of institutional quality periodically
applied through a peer group review process. An accredited
school or college is one which has available the necessary
resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate
education programs, is substantially doing so, and gives
reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the
foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed
through accreditation.
Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial
but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is
not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program
offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather,
it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities
available to students who attend the institution.
