Full, International Accreditation   

 

Flathead Valley Academy is fully accredited by Cognia, the internationally recognized educational organization that provides quality assurance for public and private schools.

Cognia bestows the recognition and authority of three of the U.S. regional accrediting agencies and provides our institution with a highly regarded accreditation that is recognized throughout the world. 

Cognia recognizes schools across the globe that meet rigorous standards focused on productive learning environments, equitable resource allocation, and effective leadership. To earn Cognia accreditation, a school must submit to extensive  internal and external reviews. Earning accreditation from the Cognia Global Accreditation Commission means that the school meets Cognia Performance Standards and maintains a commitment to continuous improvement. Schools in good standing may maintain their accreditation for a six-year term.

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).  More information about Cognia can be found at: cognia.org

“Cognia Accreditation is a rigorous process that focuses on the entire school and its community, not the program alone. The primary goal of ensuring all students can flourish in engaging and equitable learning environments. We commend Flathead Valley Academy for meeting high standards and making progress on key indicators that impact student learning.”
