The Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools, building on the rich history of the Middle States Association, aspire to improve the quality of education in the United States and around the world by assisting schools to achieve excellence through the process of accreditation, by affirming to the public a member school’s trustworthiness and commitment to continuous improvement, by providing the network and resources for the promotion of proven practices.

At the same time, to promote the values that ensure a solidary and committed coexistence, and that the development of the necessary skills is sought so that the economic activity of Puerto Rico generates a high quality of life.‎
