St. Paul's School is a member of the California Association of Independent Schools. 

St. Paul’s School conducted a thorough self-review which culminated in a visitation from the CAIS team representative on April 29, 2016. This representative met with the Directors for a review of St. Paul's CAIS Progress Report and Action Plan. Following the discussion of the accomplishment of our goals and document review, the CAIS representative toured the school, visited classrooms, and spoke with teachers and students. She was extremely pleased and genuinely happy with how hard the St. Paul's faculty, parents, and community members have worked to make the changes they recommended. The Report of Findings will be published as soon as it is received.

In May, 2013 the Accreditation Committee commended the school for:
