THE START: Accreditation of educational programs and schools began over one hundred years ago as a means for quality assurance.
EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS: An external body, such as an independent, nonprofit accrediting agency, assesses the program's structure and content to ensure it meets the agency's standards. If the standards are met, the agency awards the institution accreditation.
QUALITY ASSURANCE: Online school accreditation is a voluntary process that verifies that an online program meets quality standards.
PROGRAM REVIEW: Lack of accreditation does not mean a program is low quality - it simply means that the program has not decided to complete the accreditation process.
Understanding Accredited Curricula
Essentially, passing this review gives a curriculum a stamp of approval – one that is continuously revisited and renewed.
Continuous Quality Evaluation
The accreditation process is voluntary, and it is used to establish credibility.
Curriculum Accreditation
Accreditation means that the curriculum a program offers has been reviewed by an outside agency and has reached or exceeded their standards of quality.
Credibility Establishment
Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) and Miacademy provide accredited curriculum programs.
