My child has auditioned at CIM for the BM program. After he submitted his application we received a letter regarding the school being put on Notice with the accreditation folks. The issues seem pretty concerning (see PDF above), and I've been told that peer reviewers are currently are producing a report that Trustees will consider at their June 2017 meeting. That review will be considering the improvement plan and if any or all of the target areas have been brought into expectations.
I noticed that there has been a lot of turnover at CIM. There is a new president, all of the administrators who were introduced at audition were "interim", and two teachers have left the specific department into which my child is applying.
If my child is offered a place at the school, of course I will contact the president and others to ask a lot of questions. For now, does anyone in this community have any insight or input? Does anyone have a child at CIM? What are the implications for the class of 2021 if the school loses its accreditation?
Thanks.
