Accreditation: WASC & College Board Explained

We are proud to be accredited by two renowned educational organizations:

the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the College

Board. These accreditations are a testament to our commitment to providing a

high-quality and rigorous academic program that meets national standards and prepares

our students for success in their educational journey.

Accreditation by WASC

WASC Accreditation: WASC is a regional accrediting agency that evaluates and accredits

schools in the Western United States. Accreditation by WASC demonstrates that our

online school has undergone a comprehensive evaluation process and meets rigorous

educational standards. It signifies that our school is committed to providing quality

education, continuous improvement, and meeting the needs of our students.

WASC accreditation offers several benefits:

• Quality Assurance: Accreditation assures students, parents, and other stakeholders that

our online school meets recognized standards of academic quality and effectiveness.

• Transferability of Credits: Accredited schools often have an advantage in credit transfer

agreements with colleges and universities, facilitating smoother transitions for students.

• College Acceptance: Colleges and universities typically recognize and value WASC

accreditation, which can enhance our students' college admission prospects.

• Eligibility for Financial Aid: Accreditation is often a requirement for students to access

federal financial aid programs, scholarships, and grants.

College Board Affiliation: Our affiliation with the College Board signifies that our online

school has met the organization's requirements to offer Advanced Placement (AP)

courses and potentially administer AP exams. The College Board is responsible for administering standardized tests like the SAT and providing educational resources and

support to schools.

The benefits of College Board affiliation include:

• College-Level Courses: Through the AP program, we offer college-level courses that

allow our students to challenge themselves academically and potentially earn college

credits.

• College Admissions Advantage: Colleges and universities value AP coursework, and

strong performance on AP exams can enhance our students' college applications and

demonstrate their readiness for higher education.

• Access to College Board Resources: Our affiliation provides access to a wealth of

educational resources, professional development opportunities for our teachers, and

support for implementing AP courses effectively.

In summary, Legacy Online School is holding both WASC and College Board

accreditations. These prestigious accreditations validate the quality and excellence of

our academic programs and signify our commitment to providing students with a

well-rounded education that prepares them for future academic pursuits and personal

growth. We continuously strive to uphold these standards of excellence and remain

dedicated to supporting our students' success in all aspects of their educational journey.
