Accreditation

Accreditation is a voluntary way for schools to demonstrate their commitment to quality. It started over a century ago as a way for universities and high schools to set and follow shared educational standards. Today, it’s used at every level of education—not just to meet expectations, but to actively support student growth and ongoing improvement. We see it as a valuable tool that helps schools stay focused on what really matters: helping students thrive. At ACA accreditation as a powerful starting point for school improvement. It’s not just a checklist—it’s a thorough, research-based process that looks at every aspect of a school, from policies and learning environments to the overall culture. It helps us understand how all the pieces fit together to truly support each student. At ACA, accreditation isn’t about meeting a one-time standard—it’s about staying committed to growth and continually working toward better outcomes for every learner.

ACA is proudly and fully accredited by the Georgia Accrediting Commission (GAC), which sets high standards to ensure quality instruction, strong educational programs, and safe learning environments. GAC accreditation reflects ACA’s commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in education.
