Nowadays the only way that home schooled children will make it in the world and get into schools where they have a chance to be doctors or lawyers they must go to accredited home schools. Accredited schools must be found to be accepted by the board of education and are transferable to other education departments. Nowadays with the rise of home school children graduating that has become a problem. To alleviate that problem, online schools started offering accredited home schooling options, these programs offer correspondence or online curriculums, with live instructors and dedicated student representatives, as well as the ability for parents to choose every aspect of their education.

In addition to the regional accreditors, there are specialized accreditors. The most well-known of these is the Distance Education and Training Council (www.detc.org). It is a national accreditor, and in one of the oddities of education in America, national accreditation is considered to a lesser form of accreditation. However, my money is on DETC making the leap to equal status with the regional accreditors, particular for high school accreditation.

There are many of these programs available online; students can go to school online from Kindergarten all the way up to college degrees. These accredited home school programs, are structured for a student to get the maximum education. Parents get to be in charge of the education their child gets while maintaining their busy lifestyles and other household problems.

Accredited programs often, but not always, really are of a higher quality. The fact is that unaccredited high schools would become accredited if they thought there was the possibility that they would pass that rigorous assessment. At the high school level, there is no reason to use an unaccredited program.

Does this mean that unaccredited programs do not have merit? In some cases, it most certainly does, but it is not about whether they have merit. It is about proving it through a time-tested process and, in U.S. education circles, that is regional or national accreditation.
