Accreditation & Certification
Accreditation with ACSI engages schools in a vigorous, holistic process of organizational appraisal and improvement that engages every school constituent. Our program is a highly regarded Christian program for member schools. We have partnerships with all of the U.S. regional accreditation agencies and offer joint accreditation with numerous accrediting organizations.
Every step in our accreditation process is designed to be useful for driving improvement in private schools. If you are striving for excellence based on a solid Christian philosophy of education, consider exploring our program.
The purpose of ACSI Certification is to strengthen Christian schools by credentialing educators who meet established professional and biblical requirements. ACSI Certification promotes continued professional learning and increased effectiveness. Establishing and maintaining the certification of staff and administration is an essential step toward professional credibility and growth. Education is a process. Just as we encourage our students to grow and become life–long learners, we want to set the same example as their teachers and leaders.
ACSI certification establishes a framework for professional growth to occur over time, just like continuous school improvement.
Children's Tuition Fund Provides Thousands of Children with Access to Christian Ed Through Tax Credit Scholarships
Colorado Springs, CO – The Children's Tuition Fund (CTF), a service of ACSI, is proud to announce that, over the past 5 years, it has provided approximately 45 million dollars in scholarships to 12,759 children. Thanks to the efforts of the CTF team, these students, across the six states in which the program operates, have been given access to Christian education.
ACSI President & CEO Dr. Larry Taylor shared why he is passionate about making quality, biblically based education accessible to as many children as possible.
“At ACSI, our heart is to see every child thrive in a Christ-centered, academically rigorous environment, and the Children’s Tuition Fund is making that dream a reality for so many families," Taylor said. “The impact of CTF goes beyond scholarships—it’s about empowering the next generation to live out their God-given potential and to make a difference in the world.”
According to Taylor, financial or economic constraints should never be an obstacle in a child receiving a Christ-centered education.
James Elliott, Director at Children’s Tuition Fund, expressed his enthusiasm for the program’s continued efforts.
"We love the work of the Children’s Tuition Fund—helping families afford and access a Christian education," Elliott said. "We know the gospel of Jesus Christ changes lives. What an opportunity!"
The Children's Tuition Fund remains dedicated to partnering with generous donors and communities to further its mission of providing life-changing opportunities through education.
