How is University Prep accredited?
A. University Prep is accredited by the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS). The association accredits independent elementary and secondary schools in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. Accreditation of an institution by PNAIS indicates that it meets or exceeds the association’s criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically. An accredited school is one which has the necessary resources to achieve its stated mission through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. The PNAIS accreditation program has been awarded national recognition by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).
