Academy Central’s Internet high school is accredited by the American Accreditation and Education Association, Incorporated. The AAEA was founded in 1995. Its school inspectors are volunteers having educational experience in the area of non-public and non-traditional schools.
Accreditation by the AAEA does not automatically mean that a student can transfer back and forth from one school or school district to another carrying along full course credits. This is particularly true when a student moves from any non-traditional school into any other school, public or private, traditional or non-traditional. Most receiving schools require the transferring students to “test in.”
In much the same way, colleges and universities want applicant students to have received adequate scores on standard tests of educational achievement, such as the “SAT” examinations. All of the accreditation in the world is no substitute for strenuous study leading to good test scores.
Students who study at home from books or computers using lessons from distance schools such as our own Academy Central may have some advantages over students who are “lost in the crowd” at overstuffed public or private high schools. With fewer distractions and nothing between students and lessons, academic progress can be both faster and deeper, leading to greater student understanding and better college entrance examination scores.
