Why Is Accredited Homeschool Curriculum Vital?
The need for accreditation of homeschool programs started when public demand grew for higher quality education standards and accountability for schools.
Validation that a school is meeting significant standards and guidelines from an unbiased third-party organization is especially important for homeschooling families who want to ensure that their children do not have any gaps in their education.
There are not many nationally recognized accreditation organizations for education in the United States.
A school’s process to earning accreditation is difficult and involves a review of a school’s curriculum, personnel, financial viability, and education services. This evaluation is conducted by a panel of qualified educators and administrators who have no affiliation with the school.
Accreditation also must be reviewed every few years to make sure that schools are continuing to meet existing standards and making improvements.
As a parent interested in homeschooling programs, the accredited curriculum is crucial because it will help ensure:
- Classes your kids take meet strong national standards;
- Coursework can be transferred between accredited schools; and
- Colleges and universities will accept your degree across America and internationally.
