The Grade School Department has been granted Level III re-accreditation for five (5) years by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU).
This Level III re-accreditation is valid until February 2027. DLSZ first passed the Level III accreditation in December 2012. Aside from the Grade School Department, DLSZ’s Junior High School and Senior High School Departments also applied for re-accreditation but are still awaiting results.
Ms. Maria Elena Olivia Camatog, Grade School Principal, released a statement about this milestone:
“We are truly grateful that the Grade School Department has been granted re-accreditation for five years, valid until February 2027, by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools Colleges, and Universities (PAASCU). Our gratitude goes out to the PAASCU Resurvey Team, for recognizing the strengths of our programs as well as for sharing their recommendations, which will certainly contribute towards our continued pursuit of excellence. We would also like to express our appreciation to the whole DLSZ community – parents, students, and Lasallian Partners – for showing the leadership, camaraderie, and fellowship during the visit, all of which steadfastly allow us to meet our goals. Above all, we thank God for the wisdom and guidance that help us succeed in all our undertakings.
May the affirmation that we received through this accreditation inspire us to further improve on our programs, while the process of addressing the recommendations strengthen our bonds even more as we work in communion towards fulfilling our mission. Let us set aside the matters that we cannot control and focus on those that we can. Together, we have not only been able to make it possible for learning to continue in the time of pandemic but we have also demonstrated our unyielding commitment towards quality and excellence.
Congratulations, Lasallian Leaders! Let us all continue to make our spark shine and hope that our combined light serves as a beacon, especially, in dark times. Animo!”
