About this listen
Welcome to Owlcast! Today, we host Christian Talbot, Chief Executive Officer of the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. Christian is someone who understands schools not just from the outside, but from within—through the lens of vision, mission, and impact. As the head of one of the most respected accreditation bodies for American and international schools, his work shapes how institutions like ACS Athens define, evaluate, and continuously improve themselves. Today’s conversation goes beyond protocol and paperwork—it’s about values, trust, and the power of intentional education. We begin by exploring the mission of MSA and why accreditation is not simply a regulatory obligation but a cornerstone for a school’s credibility, growth, and long-term sustainability.
