Bethel Christian academy earns Cognia accreditation

Bethel Christian Academy announced today that it has earned Cognia® Accreditation. Cognia is a nonprofit organization that provides quality assurance for schools, school districts, and  education service providers. 

Cognia, formerly AdvancED, nationally recognizes districts that meet rigorous standards focused on productive  learning environments, equitable resource allocation that meets the needs of learners, and effective leadership.  Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that the school is accredited, and  that Bethel Christian Academy is recognized across the nation as a school that meets Cognia Performance  Standards and maintains a commitment to continuous improvement.  

“School accreditation as conferred by the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission provides Bethel Christian  Academy a nationally recognized mark of quality for our school,” shared Principal Douglas Phillips. “It  demonstrates to our community our commitment to excellence, our openness to external review and feedback, and  our desire to be the best we can be on behalf of the students we serve.” 

To earn Cognia accreditation, a school district also must implement a continuous process of improvement and submit to internal and external review. Schools in good standing can maintain their accreditation for a six-year  term. 

Dr. Mark A. Elgart, president and CEO of Cognia, stated, “Cognia Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses  the entire school and its community on the primary goal of preparing lifelong learners in engaging environments  where all students can flourish. Bethel Christian Academy is to be commended for demonstrating that it has met  high standards, is making progress on key indicators that impact student learning.”  

Cognia is the parent organization of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School  Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the Southern Association of  Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI). Parents and interested  community members can learn more about the Cognia Accreditation at cognia.org
