The William & Mary School of Education has received Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) accreditation at both the advanced and initial-licensure levels. The CAEP Accreditation Council held its Fall 2025 review in October, during which 36 providers were approved under the rigorous, nationally recognized CAEP Teacher Preparation Standards.

“These providers meet high standards so that their students receive an education that prepares them to succeed in a diverse range of classrooms after they graduate,” said CAEP President Dr. Christopher A. Koch. “Seeking CAEP Accreditation is a significant commitment on the part of an educator preparation provider.”
