NCA/SACS (AdvancED) Accreditation
The North Central Association (NCA) is a regional accrediting association for all public high schools within its 19-state region. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) is an accrediting agency which serves schools in the South. AdvancED is the parent organization for NCA and SACS. ACSI and AdvancED have partnered in a commitment to deliver high-quality school/program improvement and accreditation services to Christian schools and programs. This partnership allows for a school to earn both accreditations by going through partnership protocol led by an ACSI team.
