The New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC /ˈniːæsk/ NEE-ask) is a United States' regional accreditation association providing educational accreditation. NEASC serves over 1500 public, independent schools, and technical/career institutions in the six New England states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont), the United States, plus international schools in more than 90 nations worldwide. Its headquarters is in Lowell, Massachusetts.[1]
NEASC is made up of three commissions: the Commission on Independent Schools, the Commission on International Education, and the Commission on Public Schools. The commissions decide matters of accreditation in the context of research-driven standards reviewed by their membership. The New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE), formerly part of NEASC, was organized in late 2018 as a separate and independent entity, in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Education.[2]
