Accreditation

Esther’s Schools (New Port Richey) is proud to be accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED). Cognia is the global leader in providing continuous improvement and accreditation services to over 32,000 institutions serving 20 million students worldwide. Using a set of rigorous research-based standards and evidence based criteria, Cognia examines the whole school – the policies, programs, practices, learning conditions and cultural context – to determine how well the parts work together to carry out the institution’s vision and meet the needs of every learner.
We have not only met, but have exceeded the standards set forth by Cognia, which provides a comprehensive validation of Esther’s Schools’ high academic, ethical, and operational standards.
Additionally, Esther’s Schools are co-accredited with the League of Christian Schools (LCS). Co-accreditation with the LCS illustrates Esther’s Schools’ ability to establish and maintain the highest standards and best practices for academics and curriculum, operations, compliance, and leadership.
