Ohio Catholic School Accreditation

St. Paul School is fully accredited by the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association (OCSAA), a collaborative organization led by the superintendents of schools from the Ohio Catholic dioceses. This accreditation ensures that we remain firmly rooted in our Catholic identity while continuously striving to improve student learning and academic excellence.


Through OCSAA accreditation, St. Paul School meets all operating standards set by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (previously the Ohio Department of Education), helping to ensure the health and safety of our students and providing them with a high-quality, faith-based education. 


"OCSAA supports the work of our schools through a six-year accreditation cycle which includes a self-study, data gathering and analysis, goal setting based on data, professional development, assessment of progress toward goals, and reflection and revision as necessary. As each school engages the process, it moves toward the vision of a high-performing school where students are grounded in their faith and prepared to achieve at distinguished levels. The OCSAA process challenges schools to set goals and offer instruction using best practices and research." (OCSAA.org)
