The Chiang Kai Shek College Grade School and High School Programs were recently granted Level III accreditation status, the highest level for Basic Education, by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).

The Level III Accreditation grants the Chiang Kai Shek College Grade School and High School Programs "Full curricular autonomy, including the authority to innovate without need for prior approval provided that the concerned DepEd Regional Office is duly informed" and "Full autonomy including freedom from visitation, inspection and/or supervision by DepEd supervisory personnel or representatives for the direction of its Level III accredited status." (DepEd ORDER # 32, s. 2006)

The Level III status acknowledges that the Chiang Kai Shek Grade School and High School Programs have a high standard of instruction. It recognizes the strong faculty and staff of the Chiang Kai Shek College Grade School and High School Programs and also recognizes the high level of achievement and performance of students in both academic and co-curricular activities.

Chiang Kai Shek College is one of only a few schools that have been granted level III accreditation, and so it is a great honor, but it is also a big challenge, to strive for even higher quality teaching and learning.

Finally, this distinction is shared with all former and current administrators, teaching and non-teaching personnel, parents, alumni, and students, whose collaborative effort and selfless service helped CKS College rise from Level I to Level II, and ultimately to its current Level III status.

菲律賓中正學院小學部和中學部英文課程最近同時獲得 「菲律賓大專院校鑑定協會」( Philippines Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities , 簡稱:PAASCU) 頒授三級認證資格 (Level III)。這是鑑定協會頒授於基礎教育課程的最高級別,此項鑑定標準是由菲律賓教育部所承認的。

第三級認證資格授予中正學院小學部和中學部英文課程“全面課程自主權,包括創新權限,學校任何創新,無需事先經教育部批准,只要適當通知教育部區分局就可以”;此外,三級認證資格授予學校充分自主權,包括免於教育部監督人員到校查訪或指導等)。 (DepEd ORDER#32,s.2006)

PAASCU頒授中正學院三級認證資格是對中正學院小學部和中學部英文課程教學質量的肯定。它不但對中正學院在教和學方面可信度和有效度的肯定,同時,也是對中正學院學生在學習上和課外活動方面高水平的成就和表現的認同 。三級認證資格也是對中正學院教師教學水平的肯定。

能獲得三級認證的學校為數不多,尤其是華校,可以說是屈指可數,中正學院這次成為少數幾所擁有三級認證資格的學校之一,是極大的榮譽,也是極大的挑戰。中正學院從PAASCU一級晉升二級,至今晉升三級,是這十幾年來歷任校長以及全校教職工辛勤耕耘的結晶,特此感恩!

中正學院將繼往開來,持續開拓進取,在英文、華文教學上紮實有效地
不斷改善,不斷提升。
