Accreditation's Impact on Stakeholders

• Students receiving services from an accredited institution have greater access to federal loans, scholarships, post-secondary education, and military programs that require students to attend accredited institutions.

For Parents

For Teachers/Staff

 The accreditation process holds teachers and staff accountable for overall improvement, and for having a positive growth mindset for the organization and their individual classrooms.

For Communities and Businesses
