Accreditation

At Wellspring Global Academy, we are committed to providing a high-quality education that meets rigorous standards of excellence. We believe in transparency about our accreditation status and want you to understand our journey toward full accreditation during our inaugural year through Cognia, expected to be complete by summer 2026.

Accreditation is a voluntary quality assurance process through which schools demonstrate their commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. This comprehensive evaluation examines all aspects of a school's operation, including curriculum, instruction, student performance, leadership, resources, and more.

For families, accreditation provides assurance that a school meets established standards of educational quality and maintains a commitment to ongoing improvement. It also helps ensure that credits earned will be recognized by other educational institutions.

Accredited schools commit to ongoing evaluation and enhancement of their programs

Colleges and universities generally recognize diplomas and transcripts from accredited schools
