Why Accreditation Matters

2013-02-21T13:43:44-05:00

Accreditation is a quality standard that is granted by an independent third party organization.

Online schools could help generate even more innovative ideas from children It's no secret that there's a major problem happening in traditional American schools.  The nation that used to be legendary for producing great minds and having an outstanding education system has students that are falling behind students in other countries at an alarming rate.
