Hartfield Accreditation: Upholding Excellence in Education Through a Biblical Worldview

It is the time of year Hartfield submits its annual report to ACSI, one of our accrediting agencies. Hartfield has sought accreditation that ensures both a quality education to prepare students for college, and organizations that have high standards for education through a biblical worldview. These accreditations are globally recognized, providing credibility and assurance that Hartfield meets high standards in teaching, curriculum, and student services while equipping us to fulfill our strong mission and vision.
It is rewarding to see the work that God is doing in our student’s lives and how blessed we are to have teachers passionate about teaching their subject through a Biblical worldview lens. Our report serves as a checkpoint of accountability to fulfill the high standards set by accrediting bodies to fulfill our mission.  See the following FAQ’s for more information.
