Accreditation

MICS is fully accredited by both the Southern Association of Colleges  and School (SACS) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). 

 Southern Association of Colleges  and School (SACS)

SACS is a non-governmental, voluntary organization that accredits more than 13,000 public and nonpublic institutions from early childhood through university. Since its beginning, the mission of SACS CASI has been to help schools improve student learning. Today, SACS CASI is the largest accrediting agency in the world and is one of only six agencies that accredit both public and nonpublic educational institutions. A SACS CASI accredited school is part of an international educational network, the members of which have demonstrated success in educating students.

Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)

ACSI accreditation is a process — a self-study and analysis, a comparison to established standards, an assessment of a school’s mission, a commitment to quality education, and a willingness to be accountable. Christian schools can use all of these components of the process to reach toward their goal of excellence in education.

The ACSI accreditation programs are for preschool, elementary, and secondary schools. Recognized at the national level as well as by many regional and state accrediting agencies, these programs provide a comprehensive evaluation model for Christian schools. The ACSI accreditation program was one of the first programs to be officially recognized by the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).
