best accredited high school online program

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 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. |
Similarly NFC Academy core courses are approved by the NCAA for initial academic eligibility, which is another indication of our commitment to meeting the rigorous standards of quality for our families.
