Do schools have alternatives to NEASC for accreditation?
Yes. A number of associations of like-minded schools offer accreditation services in New England. These include Montessori and Waldorf schools. There are also associations of Christian schools. Often schools seek joint accreditation with NEASC and one of these agencies, with the school completing the full NEASC self-study, adding to it a supplement to examine the special focus, and hosting a visiting committee representing both associations.
