Accreditation Association of Classical and Christian Schools The Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS) provide an independent accreditation for classical Christian schools. "We have been careful not to become entangled with regional accreditors like AdvancED, Middle States, New England, The Western States (California), or other state organizations that are linked, directly or indirectly, to federal or state educational mandates. This allows our schools to remain truly distinctive. In addition, we offer an accreditation process that measures the implementation of the classical model." [3] The Idaho State Department of Education does not regulate or authorize private schools in the state. High school credits are not transferable to public or private high school, unless accredited by the Association of Classical and Christian Schools. [4]
