Awarding of Core Knowledge Official School Designation

The Core Knowledge Foundation is responsible for final outcome decisions with regard to application for the Core Knowledge Official School designation. This decision is based on the documents submitted by the applicant school and is made in consultation with the final visitation team.

If the applicant school exemplifies the Core Implementation Practices and demonstrates a high level of fidelity to Core Knowledge, awarding of the Official School designation will be granted under the condition of ongoing accordance with the rules and regulations outlined in the Core Implementation Practices document. A letter of recognition will be sent from the Core Knowledge Foundation to the school notifying them of the designation. A plaque will be presented to the school at the next occurrence of the Core Knowledge National Conference.
