Accreditation Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA) is a worldwide leader in accreditation and school improvement. For over 130 years, the Middle States Association has been helping school leaders establish and reach their goals, develop strategic plans, promote staff development, and advance student achievement. Hundreds of faith-based schools seek out MSA accreditation because MSA supports and recognizes the importance of having schools fulfill their missions under their specialized faith-based traditions and values.
