Accreditation and Homeschooling

A few things to know:
1. Only schools can be accredited, not curriculum.
2. Anyone can start an accrediting organization. This is why you’ll see so many with impressive sounding names that actually mean very little.
3. Homeschool umbrella schools *cannot* be accredited because accreditation is about things like student test scores, teacher:student ratios, educational status of teachers, number of AP classes offered, graduation rates, and much more.
Bottom line: accreditation is not something to be concerned about!
