We are a member of the ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International), a worldwide umbrella organisation representing 5 285 schools across the globe.

 There are 73 ACSI schools in South Africa (24 in Gauteng), of which The King's School West Rand is the only South African school which is Internationally Accredited at present.

 International Accreditation is awarded to schools that comply with a stringent monitoring process and a thorough site evaluation from an international delegation.  Schools that achieve this Accreditation are listed on the ACSI Website, which many tertiary institutions use as a resource to evaluate potential candidates and the validity of the school qualifications. 

 We hold ourselves accountable to the ideals expressed by ACSI and strive to meet these within the framework of the South African education system.

 As a school we embarked on the process of international accreditation in May 2005, an exhaustive school evaluation that culminated with a site visit in February 2008.  The visiting team’s accreditation report  indicates the scope and nature of the school’s performance against 10 critical outcomes.

On the 31^st July 2009, we received the following confirmation:
