International Association of Christian Colleges and Schools
A winning difference. A competitive edge.
IACCS is the international arm of the Florida Association of Christian Colleges & Schools, extending the same accreditation, certification, and student programs to Christian schools beyond Florida.
IACCS was established to address the need for spiritual and academic excellence in Christian education globally, serving Christian pastors, missionaries, educators, parents, and students worldwide through leadership and program services.
What IACCS does
Organizing associations

Accreditation manuals
Providing accreditation manuals to schools seeking validation of their academic and spiritual programs.
Conferences
Conducting conferences for teachers, administrators, and school leadership.

Five services, each patterned on the FACCS program it grew out of.
Accreditation and co-accreditation
IACCS offers schools a quality accreditation program patterned after the nationally recognized standards of FACCS. Once a qualifying school has attained full accreditation status, it may apply for expanded national and international co-accreditations under the FACCS/National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) and Commission on International and TransRegional Accreditation (CITA) protocols.
Professional Educator Certification
IACCS teacher and administrator certification provides the individual with a professional credential within the Christian school. The public relations benefit to IACCS member schools works to attract and keep qualified staff, families, and students.
Professional development
IACCS offers an annual convention and conferences for teachers and administrators, online seminars, and cooperative efforts with member Christian colleges as a means toward the professional development of staff.
