Accreditation Overview:

  • Faculty at accredited schools must be well-qualified and involved in ongoing professional learning.

  • Faculty at ACSI accredited schools must hold an educator’s license.

  • The school must maintain a program that is consistent with its beliefs and mission as a school and must be committed to a process of continual research-based improvement that focuses on student achievement.

  • Student academic credits earned at one regionally accredited institution are automatically accepted at any other.

  • Accredited schools verify compliance with standards annually and host a peer review team every five years that validates the school’s compliance and the progress the school has made in school improvement. EHCA’s last peer review visit occurred in 2018.

“I cannot think of any action taken by a school that produces more total school benefit than the decision to attain accredited status. Curriculum quality is strengthened, school policies are refined, student achievement enhanced and future directions intensified. Without accreditation the attainment of overall excellence for a Christian school is difficult.”
— Ken Tanis, Headmaster Emeritus, Delaware County Christian Schools
