The Alabama Independent School Association recently announced that Edgewood Academy in Elmore and Prattville Christian Academy and East Memorial Christian Academy in Prattvillehave attained the AISA Blue Ribbon School designation for the 2010-2011 school year.
An AISA Blue Ribbon School exemplifies excellence in teaching, student performance, school life, and school and community interaction. A Blue Ribbon School award winner is an excellent school involved in an ongoing process of school improvement.
The AISA has been steadfast in its efforts since 1970 to maintain an organization of independently operated non-public schools that are rich in diversity, committed to academic excellence, and deeply concerned about the growth and development of children and youth. The association's goal is to provide quality educational opportunities for those parents choosing an alternative to public education. The AISA Blue Ribbon School program is sponsored by the AISA to recognize member schools with outstanding educational programs.
These three private schools have attained a high level of excellence in the areas of student and teacher performance, plant and facilities, student life, and community involvement and is a very worthy recipient of the AISA Blue Ribbon School award.
