The Northwest Association of Accredited Schools has provisionally accredited Scholars Online
Accreditation is confirmation by an independent body that an academic program offers a high-quality, balanced education deserving recognition across state lines and by colleges and universities. It ensures that students receive credit from other accredited schools, scholarship programs, and government agencies for the work they have performed at the accredited institution.
Scholars Online has received provisional accreditation from the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools. It is one of six regional accreditation organizations in the United States responsible for evaluating the traditional, distance learning, and online programs of both public and private educational institutions at the elementary and high school levels. The Scholars Online faculty and administration will be working for the next year with association representatives to assess the Scholars Online program and provide evidence that we meet and will continue to meet standards for accreditation, as well as identify areas for improvement.
Provisional accreditation grants the full rights and responisibilities of accreditation to Scholars Online, its faculty, and its students. It confirms that Scholars Online meets or exceeds all regional accreditation organisation requirements and state and federal standards, for
- clear expectations for student learning
- curriculum
- instruction
- student assessments
- leadership and organization
- school services
- faculty and financial responsibilty
- culture of improvement
We have always believed that our courses provide high-quality education for our students, but we know that some students have had to seek outside confirmation of our program content in order to qualify for government programs, sports participation, or scholarship awards. Accreditation allows our students to receive recognition for the work they have done at Scholars Online, without additional cost or further documentation.
