Accreditation

Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES) and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) are the demonstration schools of the Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center at Gallaudet University.

Both schools are fully accredited by two organizations:

• Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools
• Conference of Educational Administrators of Schools and Programs for the Deaf

KDES and MSSD are currently applying for reaccreditation. Read about the process and learn about our accreditation protocol, Excellence by Design.
