Cognia Accreditation sets a benchmark for educational quality and serves as a guiding force for schools to excel. It provides students with an enriching education, parents with peace of mind, and communities with confidence in the institutions that shape future leaders. By promoting a culture of continuous improvement, accreditation from Cognia helps schools offer the best possible educational experience, preparing students for success in a rapidly evolving world.
WSBE Certificate of Approval
The Washington State Board of Education (WSBE) is an influential body responsible for educational standards in the state. The WSBE plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the academic welfare of students. Private schools seeking approval must meet specific criteria related to curriculum, facilities, and teacher qualifications.
The approval process will culminate with the WSBE issuing a formal seal of approval indicating that a private school has met all the necessary requirements. This seal signifies to parents and students that an institution meets the high standards established by the WSBE and is therefore a reputable choice for enrolling their child.
