HOW CAN ACCREDITATION AND RECOGNITION BE
ACHIEVED FOR
Home Schooling?
Tutorial Instruction?
Private Study?
or
Other Forms of Independent Study?
- Establish a professional CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY
to assist learners of
non-traditional patterns of education in academic
achievement, in evaluation and
in completing a diploma from an accredited
educational agency.
~
WHAT IS A CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY?
- It is a professional helping agency that is locally
established and managed by a
group of home school parents, or by an existing
school, or by a church, or by an
educational agency. It enrolls the independent study
students and assumes
accountability for academic credits.
~
WHAT IS THE ACCREDITING COMMISSION FOR
INDEPENDENT STUDY?
- It has been established as a non-profit non-government,
non-sectarian
incorporation for the purpose of giving a
professional endorsement to
Centers for Independent Study. The Commission is
composed of
professional educators who are experienced in
accreditation and
directors of Centers for Independent Study. The
Commission gives
assistance to the centers in meeting the goal of
professional
recognition for independent and home study.
