Accreditations and Authorisations
PSI holds the IB World School Status since 2000
PSI is the first and the only school in Ukraine that gained authorisation to teach the three International Baccalaureate ® (IB) programmes: Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme.
The IB programmes are regarded as prestigious, rigorous and relevant to students’ learning needs for the 21st century as well as the circumstances of internationally mobile families from around the world. Our curriculum and co curricular activities are regularly reviewed for quality and suitability to ensure that we meet the evolving needs of our community.
As a member school of the IB global learning community, we share a common commitment to the goals of the International Baccalaureate, which complement those of Pechersk School International.
Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges
We have been accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) since 2003.
In 2021, we began the process of acquiring NEASC re-accreditation and IB re-authorisation through the new Collaborative Learning Protocol (CLP). We are proud to announce that we received our renewed status in 2023. This ongoing commitment to accreditation highlights our dedication to continuous improvement and upholding the highest standards in education.
Through CLP, we engage in collaborative efforts to ensure excellence in learning, teaching, facilities, co-curricular programmes, and the overall learning environment that defines PSI.

PSI is a community that prioritizes caring for one another and deep learning.
Very few schools have endured so much with such grace. NEASC is proud to be PSI's accreditation partner to support the school community as it continues to serve children, families and the greater community.
