The Minnesota Nonpublic School Accrediting Association has extended the accreditation of St. John Paul II Catholic School. All Ascension Catholic Academy schools completed the extensive MNSAA accreditation process in the latter part of 2018. Sarah Mueller, Executive Director of MNSAA, wrote, “Your schools were found to have many exceptional educational practices, wonderful leaders, and dedicated teams.” She also cited “positive cultural support for learning” found in each of the schools. Accreditation was also granted to St. Peter Claver Scholastic’s and extended for Ascension, the other Ascension Catholic Academy schools.
