The National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSC) is a private organization dedicated to accrediting American private schools on a national level.[1] It was created in 1993 to form at-large standards after the U.S. Department of Education in 1985 deemed the Department did not have legal authority to recognize any elementary and secondary accrediting agency.[1] It currently fully accredits 17 accrediting agencies including the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools.[1][2][3]
