| IRS990/Desc | 0 | The Organization provides accreditation services, including professional development workshops, to independent schools in Colorado. During calendar year 2020, a total of 33 member schools and five candidacy members were served. Within ACIS, the Colorado Diversity Network is a group of independent schools working in collaboration to create a school network of faculty and staff focused on professional development involving equity, inclusion, and diversity. Our hope in bringing together teachers and staff members from our different schools for professional development workshops is to create shared dialogue and increase our collective ability to better serve students and to support schools in meeting the ACIS standard on diversity and inclusivity. |
