What are Accredited Online Schools?

0

Accredited online schools are those that have chosen to undergo the voluntary process to have their schools accredited by a recognized agency or authority. Accreditation is the means by which schools are evaluated and certified as meeting minimum standards of academic quality, excellence and legitimacy. In many nations the accrediting process is ministered directly by a government agency or ministry. In the United States, the accreditation process is not done directly by the U.S. Department of Education. Rather, accreditation is given through private agencies that have been approved by the U.S. Department of Education or by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), a private organization.
