K-12 Accreditation Manual

The K-12 Accreditation Manual is more than just a listing of the Standards, it is a detailed teaching aid, to assist you and your team throughout the accreditation process.

In addition to the K-12 Accreditation Manual, the FCCPSA hosts and videos a number of workshops each year, on the "what does that mean" questions thay you may have.

This partnership allows FCCPSA accredited schools to obtain both FCCPSA and Cognia/SACS accreditation through one seamless process.
