The WASC accreditation process fosters excellence in elementary, secondary, and adult education by encouraging school improvement. WASC accreditation recognizes schools that meet an acceptable level of quality, in accordance with established, research-based WASC criteria. We are very proud that EBC is one of the few elementary schools in Southern California to earn this significant achievement! Please ask the office how you can support EBC during their visit.
