SACS Accreditation
The Village Academy is an accredited member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). This accreditation gives final assurance that any credit students earn at the Village Academy will be accepted at any high school or college. To maintain accreditation, the school must conduct a continuing program of educational improvements to satisfy standards of accreditation, improve student performance, submit annual reports that certify implementation of the school’s improvement plan, and be re-evaluated by external teams of professional educators at five-year intervals. Founded in 1895, SACS is a voluntary, nongovernmental agency composed of more than 13,000 accredited colleges and universities, elementary, middle and secondary schools. It serves eleven Southern states, as well as Mexico, Central and South America, islands of the Caribbean and other geographic areas.
