Services

Accreditation and Co-Accreditation

FACCS offers schools a quality accreditation based on nationally recognized standards. Once a qualifying school has attained a full accreditation status, they may apply for expanded national and international co-accreditations through our association with the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA), Middle States Association of Schools (MSA), and Cognia protocols.
