Accreditation

An accreditation team visited the Incarnate Word Academy campus from March 24-27, 2015. The accreditation process is repeated every seven years and helps schools identify what we are doing well and ensures that we continue to make improvements where we can. This process also guarantees that IWA constantly strives for excellence and continues to deliver a high standard of academic success, and support the faith formation of our students.

As a result of its strong academic performance and demonstrated dedication to the faith community, Incarnate Word Academy is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, AdvancEd, and the Texas Education Agency through the Accreditation Commission of the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department.

IWA is also a member of the National Catholic Educational Association, which provides additional leadership, direction, and service to initiatives.
