NCPSA Recognition

APPLE Accreditation is a proud member of the National Council of Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).

NCPSA is a nonprofit organization whose primary mission is to promote and support independent and autonomous accrediting associations that serve private early childhood, elementary, and secondary schools.

To become a member of NCPSA, accrediting associations must complete a multistep review process including the submission of applications, evaluations of standards and procedures, and site visits.

By earning NCPSA recognition, APPLE Accreditation now stands alongside some of the nation’s most respected accrediting organizations.
