Accreditation

ACSI Accreditation equips schools for effectiveness through school improvement. The “Accredited” seal denotes a school/program that has met institutional standards of quality and that verifies a commitment to strategic improvement and ongoing accountability. ACSI promotes the value and worthiness of accreditation and encourages each school to continuously pursue excellence. It is recognized by most regional accrediting bodies and the National Council for Private School Accreditation. Accreditation developed under the Eight Standards of REACH (Reaching for Excellence through Accreditation and Continuous improvement for Higher Achievement).
