What is School Accreditation?
School accreditation is a critical process of reflection upon the practices of a school. An external body examines the school to ensure standards (set by the accrediting body) are met. In many countries around the world accreditation is handled by a government entity, however in the USA, accreditation is managed by several non-profit organizations organized by region. Each accreditation process is unique to the commission that it is affiliated with.
Why is School Accreditation Important?
Accreditation ensures that a school is operating with educational quality. When a school is accredited, it shows students and their families they can trust the education the school provides has been measured and meets quality standards.
At Fusion Academy, our accreditation validates our unique education model and measures it against academic standards of quality.
This recognition also enables a smooth transition for students seeking educational opportunities after their time at Fusion.
Who does the Accrediting?
National Accreditation
Fusion is nationally accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED), which includes NCA CASI (North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement), SACS CASI (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement), and NWAC (Northwest Accreditation Commission).
Regional Accreditation
Regionally, Fusion campuses are accredited by NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges), MSA (Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools), and WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges).
A Note from the 2019 Cognia Review on Fusion Academy
“The team learned that Fusion’s success begins with the core belief that each student is unique and that students learn best when they feel safe, cared for, engaged, and confident. These beliefs are summarized in an important guiding approach to all interactions with students, ‘Love, Motivate, and Teach.’
Leaders have devoted significant efforts to the planning and implementation of intentional, purposeful processes to address the individualized needs of learners within a changing and complex world. Fusion is committed to success for every student by providing ‘celebrity experiences’ to honor their individual academic, social, and emotional goals.”
