In the PACT accreditation system, the evaluation structure consists of four levels: domain, group, standard, and indicator. This structure aims to define the school accreditation process in a systematic and measurable way: The domain identifies the main category of the process; the group defines the thematic dimension of this domain; the standard sets forth the performance expected from the school; and the indicator points to how these standards are implemented. During the accreditation process, schools present evidence demonstrating their compliance with PACT standards. The evidence is evaluated by accreditation specialists using predetermined rubrics to determine the schools’ level of compliance with the PACT standards and to verify the reliability of the evidence presented.

The PACT School Accreditation Standards consist of six standard domains.
