Accreditation

International Christian Academy Online LLC has, as a part of its continuous process improvement plan, the goal of becoming “Accredited.” We have taken steps toward this goal and are now a “Candidate for CITA Accreditation.”

CITA is an acrostic standing for “The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation." CITA, founded in 1994, brings together several educational accrediting agencies into one organization. The CITA Alliance has accredited over 30,000 schools in more than 100 countries.

Accreditation is a voluntary process by which primary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities submit themselves to a comprehensive review by an outside agency to ensure quality and institutional integrity. The Latin root for “accreditation” means “worthy of trust.” The concept was developed by universities, colleges, and schools, in the 1880’s, to distinguish those educational institutions that demonstrated their trustworthiness.

Accreditation means that educational programs, services, staff, and facilities meet or exceed essential standards of educational quality.

Candidacy for Accreditation is a status of affiliation with "The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation" that indicates an institution has achieved initial recognition and is progressing forward, but is not assured of accreditation. Candidate status was granted to International Christian Academy Online LLC on May 14, 2007.
