FLOCS SERVICES TO MEMBER SCHOOLS

Evaluation and accreditation.

FLOCS encourages all members to provide the highest level of Christian school excellence. Voluntary accreditation is the cornerstone of this goal. FLOCS provides an accreditation process for both preschool and K-12 schools that is recognized nationally through the Association of Christian Teachers and Schools and the National Council for Private School Accreditation.

The FLOCS accreditation process involves initial application, meeting the accreditation standards, preparing a self-study, hosting a visiting team, and receiving approval by the FLOCS Board and the ACTS Accreditation Commission.
