Commission On Elementary Schools
The Middle States Commission on Elementary Schools (MSCES) works with public and private schools that middle, elementary, and early age education in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. MSCES also works with schools in the Middle East, Near East, Far East, Africa, and Europe.
MSCES (and its predecessor, the Assembly of Elementary Schools) has provided accreditation protocols to schools since 1978. These protocols rely on the concepts of peer evaluation and self-regulation to provide continuous school improvement.
MSCES moved its operations back to Philadelphia's University City Science Center in Fall 2009 and now works in common space along side its sister Commissions and the Middle States Association Business Office.
