ACCREDITATION

ACCREDITATION

The school members of this Association are all accredited by Associations that have been recognized as accrediting members of FAANS or that are accredited by the Souther Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS.)  Accreditation means that each school has voluntarily undertaken a rigorous program of self-study which is then evaluated by a committee of its peers. Schools must meet the published Standards and criteria established by their Accrediting organization in order 
to be awarded the status of accreditation.

Accreditation guarantees parents and children that the school is doing what it says it is doing. It is the parents assurance of legitimacy and the student's guarantee that his or hers credits will be accepted at the other schools and at institutions of higher learning.

Accreditation also assures financial stability, safety, qualified teachers, sound curriculum and continuous improvement. To enroll in a non-accredited school may prove to be extremely unwise.

Furthermore, all of our members realize that they cannot meet the needs of every child and, if not, will gladly recommend a more appropriate school. Parents can have the assurance that our members are supportive of one another in this regard. The welfare of children is the essential goal of all our schools.
