Importance of Accreditation
Why Send Your Student to an Accredited School?
Accreditation means that an academic institution has undergone rigorous checks and evaluations from an objective, established, outside authority on education. It shows that a school meets high standards of quality – which includes offering a carefully crafted, effective curriculum and having faculty who are qualified to teach in their field of study. If you want to ensure that your student receives an excellent education, picking an accredited academy like LUOA is one of the best ways to do so.
Additionally, enrolling your student in an accredited school can help ensure that other K-12 institutions, universities, and future employers will recognize the validity and credibility of your student’s education. So whether your student is needing to transfer credits from LUOA or looking to start applying to jobs or colleges, you can rest assured that the instruction they receive at LUOA will be respected by other schools and organizations.
