Accreditations & Approvals
Enrolling your child in an accredited private school ensures they’re receiving a high-quality education that has been accepted nationally and internationally.
What is Accreditation?
The accreditation process is an important one, as it ensures that schools meet high-quality educational and operational standards, and shows schools, colleges, and universities worldwide that credits were earned through rigorous, standards-based curriculum. A school that has received accreditation has gone through a review of their internal processes and systems by an external party to show they meet a high standard of education. This process is ongoing, meaning the school is required to demonstrate how well their policies, programs, and practices are working together to meet the needs of every learner.
Not Every Microschool is Created Equal
It is our belief that by remaining a small learning community, we are able to truly personalize each child’s education and provide students with the one-on-one support they need to develop a lifelong love of learning and become future-ready young adults. By holding ourselves to the highest standards of excellence and maintaining our accreditation through Cognia, we stand apart from other microschools in the area. Choosing an accredited microschool means you are selecting an institution dedicated to fostering academic success and providing a trustworthy educational experience to all students.
Our school has received accreditations and approvals from the following institutions:
Accredited by Cognia
