Quality
certification is the most basic part influencing the performance of
schools/learning centres/educational organizations. Schools no longer fill in
as a mere place for obtaining an education – schools today should guarantee
that they provide education of the highest possible academic standards.
To lead new frameworks of learning, incorporate, and
guarantee quality inside existing educational practices, foundational
assessment of schools is conducted, known as accreditation.
"Accreditation gives schools an autonomous seal of
endorsement that offers credibility to students' transcripts and diplomas and
guarantees guardians that everything a school does – from how it is led and
uses its resources to its quality of instruction, assessment, and programs of
study – meets high guidelines. However, accreditation additionally furnishes
educational and community leaders with a framework to continuously assess the
quality of the institution they lead and better meet the needs of every
student." ~ Dr Annette Bohling, Chief Accreditation Officer, Cognia.
Cognia, the world's biggest accrediting body and a
community of prominent educators conducts an intensive review process and
throws light on strengths and areas of progress for schools. A Cognia accredited
school implies that the school/establishment has qualified teachers, and
affirmed learning programs, sound monetary base, is technically equipped and
operates on appropriate admission policies.
Accreditation has numerous benefits for schools and students:
Quality Check – The accredited status of a school is a green sign to
students and guardians that the school's physical and academic infrastructure
meets minimum threshold standards. The veracity of the educational's system is
tested during the accreditation procedure to address every concern regarding
the quality of education.

Federal Funds – To gain access to
federal funds such as student aid, the school/ institution must be accredited
by a recognized accrediting body. The United States federal government relies
on accreditation to determine the academic quality and ensures that an
institution is stable fiscally to serve students well.
A Hallmark of Credibility – Students from
accredited private learning institutions/ schools receive validated transcripts
and diplomas which are accepted globally by universities, colleges, and
employers. Accreditation acts as a stamp of approval on students’ transcripts
as it ensures that the educational programs offered, meet the accreditation criteria,
and present a validated educational background to employers. Students receive
authentic American qualifications having a worldwide acceptance.
Ease of Credit Transfer – Accreditation
guarantees students for seamless transfer of courses and programs among
colleges and universities. Receiving institutions always check whether the
institution from which a student wishes to transfer credits is accredited or
not.
The procedure of accreditation can be a significant step
for schools towards improving their effectiveness. We, at International Schooling, offer Certification Partnership to schools, conduct rigorous
reviews, on-site visits, certify them to be a part of the global Cognia network
of renowned accredited institutions and school systems. We partner with K-12
schools, institutions, learning centres, or corporates and offer them to turn
into our Program Partners, as an additional advantage. Our Program Partners can
include their own courses and programs and can offer them in association with
us.
With us, schools can move more purposefully, evolve their
learning outcomes and better meet the demands of students.
