Accreditation

St. John Vianney's preschool, and K-6 programs are fully accredited by the Minnesota Non-Public School Accrediting Association(MNSAA). Curriculum evaluation is an on-going process at SJV. We have established a five year curriculum review process for every subject area according to the MNSAA accreditation process. Curriculum development includes asessment of need, a philosophy for the curricular area, goal statements, learner expectations based on research and state standards, and means for assessment.
