NFC ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL
​While accreditation is important for all levels of school, it becomes even more so at the high school level as students are earning credits toward high school graduation. It is common for one of the first tests for evaluating high school credits to be that of accreditation. NFC Academy’s Online High School program is a part of our overall accreditation that starts in Kindergarten all the way through high school graduation.

NFC Academy is accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancEd/SACS), the Middle States Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools and the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools. Students and parents in Texas, Florida and across the country can have confidence that work completed at NFC Academy will typically be viewed at other schools, colleges and universities in the light of our accreditation.

COGNIA

Cognia formerly AdvancEd) is the largest community of education professionals in the world. We are a non-profit, non-partisan organization that conducts rigorous, on-site reviews of a variety of educational institutions and systems to ensure that all learners realize their full potential. While our expertise is grounded in more than a hundred years of work in school accreditation, COGNIA is far from a typical accrediting agency. Our goal isn’t to certify that educational institutions are good enough. Rather, our commitment is to help these institutions continuously improve.

Cognia states as a goal, “we are dedicated to providing service and support for our institutions to improve what they do to help students learn. To succeed, our leadership must be in concert with our culture as a service organization. We are governed by an independent Board of Directors and an executive team dedicated to these values, strategic direction, and a commitment to focusing on the ultimate outcome for students.”
