To earn accreditation, schools must meet NCA CASI’s high standards, be evaluated by a team of professionals from outside the school and implement a continuous process of school improvement.

“The knowledge of the Pacific Quest leadership team combined with the vision and mission of the program is poised to provide industry-changing research and practice. The addition of high quality instruction along with therapy is groundbreaking.”
