Great News! Our Second Accreditation

We received exciting news on Wednesday, July 21st that Bios Christian Academy earned its second accreditation in three months for our high school. This time it is through North Central Association (NCA CASI). Founded in 1895, NCA CASI accredits over 8,500 public and private schools in 19 states. We also became accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International in June.

What does accreditation mean to you our parents? Here is what NCA CASI says about it on their website, "A school's commitment to accreditation assures parents and the community that school is focused on raising student achievement, providing a safe and enriching environment, and maintaining an efficient and effective operation. An accredited school adheres to high quality standards based on the latest research and successful professional practices.

NCA CASI / SACS CASI accreditation means that your school has opened its doors to review... "

The NCA website continues on the benefits of attending an accredited school. "Qualified teachers.....rich, diverse, and sound curriculum; access to a range of student activities and support services; transferability of credits from school to school; greater access to federal loans, scholarships, post secondary education, and military programs that require accreditation. "

Good news for Bios and the families we serve.
