A St. Joseph parochial school is taking home top honors.

Cathedral School received formal, full accrediting from the Missouri Nonpublic School Accrediting Association.

They also receive special commendation for their staff professional development program C.L.A.S.S.

Cathedral says the accrediting is a 5 to 6 year self improvement process.

Cathedral must meet standards set by the Missouri Nonpublic School Accrediting Association as well as the North Central Advanced Education Accrediting Association.

"In our class motto, we found that we can always be better and that's one of the things that accreditation does, it highlights areas where you are outstanding and in this case our commendation serves to show that, but it also helps us keep on our toes so we strive to be better," said 7th grade teacher Sally Dunham.

Cathedral is the first school in the state of Missouri to receive the C.L.A.S.S. Status.

C.L.A.S.S. is a curriculum model and teaching philosophy based on brain-based learning.
