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.
ACSI Credentialing enhances Christian schools by offering certification and ongoing education that uphold both high professional and biblical standards. Our certification program provides a structured framework for continuous professional development, seamlessly integrating with efforts to improve school performance. Through our program, which includes continuing education units, educators and administrators are supported in their pursuit of growth and credibility. By exemplifying a commitment to lifelong learning, we inspire educators and leaders to model this same dedication for their students.

According to Dr. Larry Taylor, Cabrera is coming to the association at the right time as it moves forward with several new Strategic Initiatives. “Juan will play a significant role in supporting our new strategic plan that we announced last month,” Taylor said. “He is a perfect fit due to his wealth of experience in the IT field, and also because he is fluent in two languages and has spent significant time living and working in other cultures.
